Overview

This is a tour like none you have taken before! Find yourself immersed in the meaning of what it takes to be a true naturalist of the desert southwest.
We have two amazing tour options to best fit your schedule:

FIRE & ICE: This is by far the most sought after tour in the Phoenix or Tucson regions! Our full day option guides you throughout the town and desert where you learn about topics such as (geology, paleontology, anthropology, archeology, biology, meteorology, climatology, and astronomy). This tour is unique in that you get the luxury of experiencing a famous Arizona sunset while also getting the rare opportunity to see Arizona stars like never before.

FIRE IN THE SKY: This is our half day option where you find yourself traveling throughout the desert learning about the rich history and abundant life living throughout the area. During this tour you will cover topics such as (geology, paleontology, archeology, biology). You get the sunset, but forfeit the evening stargaze.

Visit one of the prettiest scenery locations in Arizona. So many hidden gems along this drive atop Mt. Lemmon. Take a trip that can see you seeing temperatures in the 80's and sand on the desert floor, to temperatures in the 40's and snow atop the peaks. Snow, sunsets, stars, pine trees, and forest dwelling creatures all await you on your next Tucson wilderness experience!
Papago Park

Take a look at Phoenix's best kept wildlife secret. See what type of animals call the greater Phoenix valley home during the winter as you see beautiful landscapes and riparian areas offering a truly wide sanctuary for countless wild critters. Oh did I forget to mention the unbelievable sunsets located here as well?
Superstition Mountains
Pass by

You have never truly seen the Sonoran Desert until you have seen it at Superstition Mountains. Some of the last land unoccupied by human encroachment. See the desert in all of its beauty and glory as the Native Americans would have just a couple hundred years back!
