Educational Nature Experience - Cam took out my husband and I for the 8 am Sonoran Desert Jeep Tour. We would highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting Phoenix who appreciates nature. Cam grew up here and is really knowledgeable about the area and ecosystem. We learned a lot about the plants and animals in Tonto National Forest and took in beautiful views of the desert with mountain backdrops.

Great job - My kiddos and I went with my best friend and Brian was awesome. He was patient and took the time to explain things. super friendly. We really enjoyed him as our guide for the Jeep tour. And very friendly, he would like talking to an old friend. He gave us a warning when it was the best time to take photos for the sunset.
