Mad Desert Trekking

"Josh was an excellent guide on our sunset hike in Phoenix! The views were awesome (great photo opportunities) and Mad Desert Trekking made sure we took a trail that was appropriate. As I said, Josh went above & beyond - with snacks, water, walking poles (for that extra assist when needed) and a ton of information about the area - the man knows about plants & rocks! I would recommend this tour to pretty much anyone who can walk. Time and money well spent."

"My cousin and I decided to meet 1/2 way and landed in Scottsdale. While we were here we opted to do several guided hikes, since neither of us are avid hikers and didn’t want to seem too out of place and ask too many strangers questions on the trail. After a ton of research and reading reviews we chose Mad Desert Trekking and sooooo glad we did. I spent a little time chatting with Matt about our goals and physical abilities and decided on 2 separate hikes on different days. Our second hike was a guided tour through a much larger desert north east of scottsdale. Jay was our new guide and as soon"

"We had an amazing desert hike with Curtis as our guide! The trail was a perfect moderate challenge—safe and well-paced—allowing us to really enjoy the stunning landscape. What made the experience stand out was Curtis’s storytelling. He brought the history, geology, and wildlife of the area to life with engaging and informative stories. It felt like more than just a hike—it was an adventure with meaning. Highly recommend booking a hike with Curtis if you’re looking for a safe, memorable, and enriching experience in the desert!"
