We offer an array of exhilarating trip activities in many of the most beautiful and pristine wilderness areas of the Southwest.

We take you to wild places, to quiet the urban noise, to feel humbled by the stunning remoteness, to suppress the distractions of contemporary life, to draw inspiration from breathtaking natural beauty.

Expect your hike to be dramatic, exciting, educational and fun, but be prepared for it to be even more. Your Arizona Hiking Adventure is still ahead of you. The itinerary has yet to be finalized; you and the uncontrollable forces of nature are about to write the story.

There are few experiences like descending a remote trail leading to hidden petroglyph walls in the Grand Canyon, or ascending a steep snow slope to the summit of Mount Humphreys with an elevation of 12,633 feet, or hiking though seemingly untouched desert in Saguaro National Park. The rewards that come with these adventures make the challenges of an Arizona Hiking Adventure worthwhile. With over 20 years of experience, Arizona Hiking Adventure's has long been a pioneer of wilderness education and exploration of the Southwest.

So be ready for anything. Get personally invested. Get excited. Get ready for one of the truly great outdoor experiences in Arizona!

We hope you look forward to being with us as much as we look forward to having you!

"But love of the wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need - if only we had eyes to see."- Ed Abbey

Level of Difficulty
