    Mad Desert Trekking guides consistently deliver exceptional hiking experiences across Phoenix's desert trails. The team stands out for their impressive depth of knowledge about local flora, fauna, geology, and history, transforming a simple hike into an educational adventure. Guides like Doug, Jay, Curtis, Henry, and Michael come prepared with all the essentials: water, snacks, backpacks, and walking sticks, so you can show up ready to explore without worrying about gear. What really sets this company apart is their attention to the complete experience. Guides pace hikes to match skill levels, making solo travelers and groups alike feel comfortable and safe. Many guides have backgrounds as EMTs or outdoor professionals, adding an extra layer of reassurance. The photography service is a thoughtful bonus that guests rave about, with guides capturing moments throughout the trek and sharing photos afterward. Sunset and sunrise hikes seem particularly popular, offering breathtaking views at Camelback Mountain, Piestewa Peak, and other stunning desert locations. Everyone from first-time hikers to business groups leaves impressed.

    Steve Hill an amazing person and new friend took me on a sunset hike on the Quartz Ridge Trail #8a. The views were spectacular especially as the sun sets. Steve is very knowledgeable of the terrain and in hiking you would be in great hands. I strongly recommend Steve if you are looking for a guided hike.
