About this experience

Camelback Mountain is one of the most popular hikes in the entire Phoenix area due to its breathtaking views of the valley.

What truly sets our hiking adventures apart is your guide/instructor – a perfect blend of enthusiasm, knowledge & experience (with a mild obsession of nature facts).

They're not just about showing you the trail; they're about helping you connect with nature, with each other and with your inner warrior.

Though this can be a challenging hike, those who enjoy a challenge, a sense of adventure or who are looking to add some outdoor fitness to their vacation, bachelorette party, team retreat or unique date, this is the perfect option.

Combining the endurance and strength needed for hiking plus the stress-relieving, stretching yoga session with a view makes for not only a balanced experience but a memorable one.

You and your group will you have the most unique photos and you’ll learn a lot about the area while having fun!
