View on Google MapsSteve was a fabulous guide. Beautiful experience. Hiking up to the summit of the saddle. I would say that the height would be considered moderate.
We had such a wonderful experience hiking with Henry. He was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and really customized the hike to our comfort and fitness level. The sunrise views were stunning, and the whole experience felt personal and relaxed. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or morning. Highly recommend!
Jennifer was great and worked with my high-tempo energy level but was also willing to linger when I wanted to rest and enjoy the views. It was overcast for the sunrise but Jennifer knows those mountains well and took me on a route for different angels to get the most from the view.

This was such a great hike! Jennifer was an amazing guide! We felt so fortunate to have a private hike with her, to ask her questions about the wildlife and the culture of Phoenix while hiking up the Phoenix Mountains Preserve! The view was so beautiful, and watching the sunrise from the mountains was so special! It was a very easy hike, Jennifer tailored our path based on our comfort level, very accessible no matter what your atheletic abilities are!
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. First hike was a sun rise hike with Henry!! He was fantastic!! communication was great and he made sure we had everything we needed ( rain coats, yes it was raining) , backpacks, water and flashlights. He educated us on the area, terrain, plant life and we talked a lot about the surrounding mountains and hikes. The hike itself was not difficult, he took cues from our panting to slow down and explain something so we didn’t feel like we were stopping for a break. The views were fantastic, and despite some clouds, the sunrise was beautiful. Henry made this hike such a great experience, we honestly could have spent an entire day visiting with him, we had such wonderful conversations!! Hands down a fantastic company to work with!!
My husband and I went on a sunrise hike , and it was wonderful! Our guide Henry was very friendly and knowledgeable , provided us with water, backpack and a flashlight. He made sure we were comfortable with the pace and at the same time got to the top on time for an absolutely spectacular sunrise. It was an unforgettable experience.
The sunrise hike was amazing our guide Jennifer was great. I Appreciated her consideration for adapting to the pace we wanted to go and our lack of previous experience. I’m not a super morning person, but the views and her friendly but not overbearing temperament were perfect for making this of the most beautiful sere hikes we have been on.
Great views, lovely walk and Henry was very friendly and knowledgeable about the whole place. Recommend for anyone who doesn't know the area and would enjoy an early morning walk.
