Sunrise & Sunset Hiking

Arizona is famous for it's sunrises and sunsets.  These Scottsdale guided hiking tours will get our out into a classic Sonoran Desert setting at the pertect time to take amazing photographs.  These tours will start about 2-hours prior to the sunrise or sunset so we can get to our favorite spot on top of South Mountain.  You'll see the "golden hour" as the sun rises above, or dips below, the distant mountain ranges.

South Mountain is in South Phoenix, and is perfect for these guided hikes.  Not only will you get to experience the Sonoran Desert at it's most beautiful moments, but you'll also get sweeping views of our sprawling city.  Oh, and our sunrises and sunsets are pretty spectacular as well.
