DESERT NATURE TOURS
Climb aboard a custom rigged 4x4 and travel back in time to the “Old West”.
The Sonoran Desert, often referred to as the "living desert", boasts an abundance of plant and animal life like no other desert in the world. Visitors are constantly amazed to discover how lush and green our desert actually is, and at the incredible number of animal species that make this desert their home. Undoubtedly, the best way to experience the spectacular beauty of the Sonoran Desert is up close and personal on your own private four-wheelin' adventure.

From the front door of your hotel, authentic cowboy and Native American guides in western and traditional garb will take you north just 15 to 30 minutes from Scottsdale to the magnificent Granite Mountain trails where the effects of man have not yet spoiled the natural desert landscape.

Expert guides knowledgeable in Arizona history and legend, conduct entertaining and informative nature walks identifying the numerous varieties of cacti and other desert plants to be found. They will explain how the indigenous peoples learned to utilize these tremendous resources for food, clothing and shelter.

Visitors are usually lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a hawk, jackrabbit, coyote or the elusive javelina... and, yes, even the infamous rattlesnake of which there are more than a dozen varieties in the desert southwest will probably make an appearance.

Always popular with guests, the Off-Road Desert Excursion is a must for the first-time visitor and frequent traveler alike. There is truly no better way to experience the desert with a little fun and excitement thrown in for good measure.

If you’re a photography buff or just a casual snapper you’ll find spectacular beauty at every turn.
