Hello and welcome! I'm excited that you found me. It is in our nature to long to experience "awe, " which is what draws us to beautiful sunsets, majestic mountains and cavernous canyons. To be overwhelmed by something greater than ourselves drives us to connect with the expanse of nature. To share these experiences with you is why I guide. A little bit about my background. I am an adventure guide with over twenty years of experience. As an adventure racer, I've journeyed around the world doing some really crazy stuff like racing camels in Morocco, white water rafting in New Zealand, mountain biking through British Columbia and rappelling into icy canyons in Switzerland. As a mountain climber, I've been to the roof of Africa on Mt. Kilimanjaro (19, 341 feet) in 2014, as well as to the highest point in South America—Aconcagua (22, 838 feet) in 2016. I've also trekked to Everest base camp, Machu Picchu and climbed volcanoes in Mexico. Arizona has been my home for the past 15 years. In addition to the Phoenix area, my favorite locations to share with you are Grand Canyon and the red rocks of Sedona. I've guided internationally and throughout the southwest United States for over 20 years. I love creating custom trips to share my passion for Phoenix, Arizona and the great outdoors. Giving you memorable, once in a life time adventures is my goal! Let;s get outside together! Certifications: Wilderness First Responder, Wilderness First Aid, CPR I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences. If I lack expertise for certain activities, I have local contacts to join us for those portions of the tours, although I will still be leading you.

If you want to explore both Sedona's stunning red rocks and the majesty of Grand Canyon, then this is the trip for you. Grand Canyon is the deepest and grandest of the 7 natural wonders of the world and Sedona is so otherworldly magical that you will think you are on another planet! Having lived in Sedona for 7 years and explored the Grand Canyon for over 10 years, I know where to go and what to see. Take advantage of my expertise to avoid crowds and see the hidden gems that only the few uncover. In a single full day, we will drive from Phoenix up to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, enjoy lunch and take in the amazing views. From there we will drive to Sedona via Oak Creek canyon and experience the awe inspiring red rocks of Sedona. We can shop, visit the Chapel of the Holy Cross and explore the towering red rocks. All-aboard--this is a full-day unforgettable journey!
Will Burkhart was absolutely incredible as our guide. He arrived promptly to pick us up at our hotel in Phoenix and proceeded to give us a memorable day of a lifetime! He shared little known facts and as we had some mobility issues he would drop us at the scenic points and park the car and join us! So courteous and kind! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable tour!
Great tour! Will was great company and set up the tour in a way that made it possible to see all of Arizona's greatest hits without feeling rushed. He was also very knowledgeable about the points we visited and managed to avoid the crowds. A day well spent; I look forward to touring with Will on some more challenging trails in the future.
Will was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and an overall amazing guide. Our family really appreciated his help and made our first grand canyon experience a great one. Thank you!
Wow, what an amazing tour with and amazing guide w/ Will. I was a bit skeptical of all the high praise/ reviews but it was above and beyond what I could have imagined. Will communicated with us leading up to the trip, was punctual with the pick up and was such a wealth of knowledge during the tour. I can't imagine trying to do everything in one day on our own. Will knows all the best places to see and when to go to them to avoid crowds. This was the highlight of our stay in Arizona thank you so much Will!
