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.

The Apache Trail is not a walking trail but one of Americas most scenic roads. This tour can be done as a half day or a full day. This mountain road is just a few miles out of Phoenix/Scottsdale and winds through The Superstition Mountains. You will see Canyon Lake, a hidden gem just outside Phoenix with boat rentals and daily tours. Goldfield Ghost Town is a genuine gold mining town and a great peek into life in 1881. We will turn around at Tortilla Flat, population 6. There you can try the Prickly Pear ice cream. This tour is a great introduction into The Sonoran Desert, the most biologically diverse desert in the world. You will have opportunities to see Big Horn Sheep, Javelina, raptors and reptiles. You will also have an option to get out on foot for a short stroll through this beautiful ecosystem if you would like.
David J was an excellent guide for this adventure! He had lots of information to share in an inviting, relaxed style. He taught us so much about the area we drove through that we would never have noticed if we had gone on our own. The van was comfortable for our group of 7 and the snacks/refreshments were great. He was on the mark when he mentioned that Tortilla Flat would be a fun place for lunch.
David was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our tour. Got to see our first road runner.
My family (Father. mother and two teenage boys) had a great day with David on the Apache Trail. David is very knowledgeable and was able to show us things and take us places that we would not have been able to do by ourselves. He was able to provide us with a wealth of information about the local wildlife and desert plants and also had a couple of his "critters" who came along with us. We highly recommend booking with David.
My family had a wonderful time with David on the half day Apache Trail tour. He not only showed us the main Apache Trail sites but off the beaten path locations as well. David has a vast amount of knowledge of the area and you can tell he has a passion for sharing it with others. We learned several new things on our tour and would not hesitate to use David's services again. He even brought back a bag of souvenirs we left in his SUV to our hotel.
