Mad Desert Trekking

Mad Desert Trekking runs guided hikes in the Sonoran Desert around Phoenix and Scottsdale. Its group outings include corporate trips and team-building activities. Guides introduce participants to the area’s landscapes, geology, plants, wildlife and history. Group hikes can be tailored to participants’ preferred start time, duration, distance, terrain and difficulty. The described group programme is an easy-to-moderate hike with a break at a viewpoint, trail snacks and drinks. The team also provides water and a lightweight backpack for each hiker. Other guided adventures include summiting Camelback Mountain, hiking to Tom’s Thumb, sunrise and sunset outings, rappelling, canyoneering and rock climbing. The professional guides hold wilderness first-aid or wilderness first-responder certifications, or EMT qualifications, according to the group-tour description.
