Amazing fauna, lizards and mammals, pictographs, and canyon that is literally like a secret passage way. Thankfully, Henry, the guide, carried enough iced bottled water to make this hike fun and enjoyable in the 92F heat. The trailhead is only 15 minutes from the airport. A great way to spend the last 3 hours before boarding a flight.
Brenda, what an epic way to spend your last few hours in Arizona, exploring the Sonoran Desert on the Hidden Valley Petroglyph Guided Hiking Adventure with your guide Henry! Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you on your next trip through Phoenix! — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Scottsdale, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵 Read less
We thoroughly enjoyed our guided hike with Curtis today. He is a terrific guide….knowledgeable, lovable, and a great storyteller. The Hidden Valley is beautiful. We highly recommend this tour with Curtis.
Pat, high fives all around! 🖐️ Hidden Valley in South Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona, is a Sonoran Desert masterpiece, and we’re pumped that your guide Curtis helped you navigate it with plenty of learning moments and good times. See us again when you're ready for your next desert hiking fix! — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Scottsdale, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵
Incredible experience! Henry was my guide and was patient, informative and so helpful and supportive! I would highly recommend this adventure! Thank you Henry!
Donna, "Incredible experience!" That's what we love to hear! it sounds like your guide Henry really knocked it out of the park during the Hidden Valley Petroglyph Guided Hiking Adventure with his patience, knowledge and support. We're so happy you enjoyed the adventure! — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Scottsdale, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵
Curtis was a great tour guide! He was super insightful and knew the trail like the back of his hand. I felt extremely safe and comfortable. The sunrise hike was breathtaking and something I will never forget from my AZ experience. I would definitely book this again
Hello Maggie, a sunrise hike that leaves a lasting impression? That's what we aim for! Thanks for sharing your experience hiking with your adventure guide Curtis. We're looking forward to exploring the Sonoran Desert again with you. — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Scottsdale, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵
Booking and meet-up was super easy. Guide (Michael Albrough) was responsive before and after the hike, including sending photos of our hike afterwards. Private hike was totally worth it, allowing me to go at my pace and choose our path at different points along the trail. Michael added a ton of details about the flora and fauna of the South Mountain Preserve, making the almost 4-hour hike educational, too, which was excellent. I would book with Mad Desert Hiking again. I would recommend Michael as a guide to others, as well, because he was prepared, flexible, and had a super attitude from start to finish.
That's awesome to hear your hiking adventure with your guide Michael was a five-star experience. The Incredible Hidden Valley Petroglyph Guided Hiking Adventure at South Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the more adventurous excursions available. It's great to hear our guides — Michael in this case — are making positive impacts on our guests. We welcome you to join us on another hiking adventure in the Sonoran Desert! — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Phoenix, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵
My daughter and I did this amazing hike, and I was so grateful for our guide, Henry, who was so knowledgeable and friendly. He made the experience exceptional and I can't imagine trying to do this on our own. He felt like a long-time friend by the time we finished. He was very accommodating to our photography (looking for birds and wildlife) and hiking abilities (I'm 68). It was an experience i will always treasure.
Aw, this review is making us smile! Henry's a gem, and we're thrilled he turned your Hidden Valley hike into a treasured memory. Glad he could cater to your photography passion and pace! ⛰️
I had a great time on this loop trail in South Mountain Park! The views were amazing and the scenery was breathtaking. Also, being able to see petroglyphs was very cool. It was a brilliant day hike!
Hello Tracy, I couldn't agree more! That loop trail is one of my favorites in South Mountain Park. The views are truly panoramic, and the way the scenery changes throughout the hike is amazing. Finding the petroglyphs is always a treat, like stepping back in time. Glad you had such a brilliant day hike!
