I have been exploring Arizona for over 35 years. What I have learned is there is something here for everyone. From archaeology to zoology, and everything in between, there is so much to see. I love mountaineering, canyoneering, caving, hiking as well as finding a nice quiet place to just sit and relax and take it all in. I love to spend time looking for fossils and gemstones and learning about Arizona's past and also being in the present looking for beautiful birds, reptiles and discovering the plethora of life in this unique environment. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder and guide for The National Park and The National Forest. I am also a member of The National Speleological Society and The Arizona Herpetological Society. My real passion is sharing Arizona with people from all over the world. Travelers who have never been here can't imagine all of the mountains, rivers and beautiful forests that are found here in the state. I know that when you leave you will have a greater understanding of all the diversity and splendor that is here and that is what will bring you back again and again. Certified guide for The Grand Canyon National Park and The Tonto National Forest. I am a Wilderness First Responder, CPR and First Aid certified and member of The National Speleological Society. I am also a minister and can perform ceremonies in nature. I have been a professional Tour Guide for over 20 years. No Restrictions.

Overview of your Phoenix tour
You will be whisked away to Northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon. View one of the Natural Wonders of the World! At Grand Canyon Village, opportunities for you include taking a little walk along the rim, visit the Famous Kolb Brothers Studio or the Historic Hopi House, designed by Mary J. Colter, famed architect, who incorporated many of the ancient construction techniques, material, art and design of the Native American cultures that have inhabited this sacred area for thousands of years! Please let me know your wishes, there is too much to see in one day. Lunch in Grand Canyon Village. Here we will take a break and enjoy one of the many tasty options including The El Tovar. We will travel east along the approximately 30 mile East Rim Road, making brief stops along the way to take in and photograph the breathtaking views.
