We guarantee you will have the desert adventure of your dreams while you relax and leave the route finding and planning to one of our experienced guides. Both hiking and biking trips are available.
When we started Cactus Adventures, there was no question in our minds where we would construct our guiding/rental location. We are located at the base of beautiful South Mountain Preserve with over 15,000 acres of preserved desert.
