This was a fabulous tour. A hike through the dessert, a gorgeous sunset, and a nice conversation around the campfire. Just a wonderful, well paced (for a 70-year-old) time with a most entertaining and knowledgeable guide!

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.

A Magical Evening Immersed in the Sonoran Desert
Overview of your Phoenix tour
The city of Phoenix is located in the Sonoran Desert. Home to the Saguaro cactus, the Sonoran boasts the most diverse flora and fauna of the four North American deserts. This sunset and early evening adventure allows us to venture well outside of the city to the Superstition Mountains to the east of the city. Described by President Teddy Roosevelt as "the Alps of the Sonoran" these mountains have attracted treasure hunters for decades looking for the Lost Dutchman's gold mine. The desert is magical at sunset and early nightfall as the setting sun lights up the desert with beautiful colors and shadows, giving way to amazing night skies. We will do a short desert hike tailored to your desired activity level, sit around a campfire roasting smores, and on clear evenings, enjoy a blanket of stars. Having lived and guided in this area for 20 years, I will share the legends of this magical area before we return to the lights of the city and a well deserved night's rest.

Amazing experience! Our guide Will was terrific from start to finish. Will is knowledgable, friendly, organized and professional. Highly recommend this Phoenix experience led by Will. Our entire group ( teenagers to retirement age people) were so thankful to have Will as our guide!

My family of four really enjoyed this tour with Will. He's a very laid back, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. We are far from expert hikers and this tour was perfect for us. Will is really adaptable, so he will adjust the tour to suit your preferences. After the hike, he made a little camp fire and we enjoyed some family time under the stars. He provided water and smores. I would recommend bringing your own sandwiches, which we did. It was nice to have some food after the hike. We had a great time!
