SUNSET IN THE SONORAN DESERT

SUNSET IN THE SONORAN DESERT

Scottsdale’s 2020 #1 ranked TripAdvisor outdoor activity. Experience a world-famous Arizona sunset as our professional tour guides teach you about the Sonoran Desert flora, fauna, and Native American history. Our off-road Sunset Sonoran Desert Jeep Tour treks through rigorous and scenic desert trails that you otherwise would not be able to reach on your own. At sunset, we will stop at our panoramic lookout point overlooking the historic Great Western Trail. As the sun goes down, the sky changes to brilliant shades of red, pink, orange, and purple. Against the backdrop of the terrain of the scenic Sonoran Desert, our Sunset Jeep Tour is a truly remarkable experience.

UNMATCHED BIODIVERSITY

For many people, the word “desert” conjures images of sand, rocks, and perhaps the occasional cactus. Those familiar with the Sonoran Desert, however, know that our ecosystem is actually the most biodiverse desert on earth. The combination of elevation and our unique rainfall pattern results in over 60 different mammals, 100 reptiles, approximately 400 species of birds, 1,000 species of bees, and more than 3500 species of plants, including the iconic Saguaro cactus, which can only be found in the Sonoran Desert. Stretching for over 120,000 square miles, the Sonoran Desert includes river, canyon and mountain habitats that support a vast number of species that have evolved and adapted to our particular combination of arid heat and diverse seasons, including intense summer monsoon rains. Ask your professional Tour Guide to tell you more about the amazing biodiversity you will see on one of our desert tours.
