You will see some of the most beautiful places in the world all in one day! We will meet in Phoenix, & head to the gorgeous red rocks of Sedona. Not only is Sedona absolutely stunning, it is thought to have healing powers from the magnetic vortices located there. We will visit the site of an actual vortex, Chapel of the Holy Cross, with a gift shop overlooking Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock. Then we will head to Flagstaff traveling on one of the most scenic highways in U.S , 89A. We will see the Oak Creek Canyon Vista, a gorgeous scenic viewpoint. We will stop by a Native American Crafts Market run by local Native Americans, & then we will head out to view one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon! We will arrive at the Grand Canyon in the afternoon to take in this magnificent & breathtaking sight, & hike into the Canyon if you wish (if no snow or ice)! You will enjoy the best sunset in the world, an Arizona sunset, on our drive back to Phoenix! Our timing is perfect, not rushed. Our family owned business, AZ Elegant Travel, is legally permitted to operate in the Grand Canyon. We are your experienced & licensed Grand Canyon guides excited to share this amazing adventure with you & have done so since 2019 with history, geology, biology & regional plant life! New dates, private, multi-day tours to Grand Canyon/Sedona/Antelope Canyon/Monument Valley available!

On this experience you’ll enjoy the beauty of the desert on a stress-free trail that winds through a section of Phoenix Mountains Preserve known only to locals. At the time you choose, we'll meet at a lightly traveled trailhead in North Phoenix and take a few minutes to get acquainted. Next, we'll begin our hike on a wide, gently sloped trail with spectacular views of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. Along the way, I'll teach you some cool stuff about the Phoenix area and the desert landscape. You’re encouraged to take pics and ask questions along the way. After about 30 minutes, we'll begin making our way back to the starting point. If you want a little more challenge, we have additional routes to choose from on our way back to the starting point. You’ll leave energized, with a greater appreciation for Arizona and the Sonoran Desert.

Leanna will take you on a beautiful hike to the top of Apache Wash mountain, then lead you through a blissful yoga flow where you can enjoy fresh air and a view that will awaken your senses and enhance your wellness journey. If you have questions or special requests, or are interested in another day/time that you don't see listed, please don't hesitate to ask so that I may accommodate you : )

Challenge yourself in a new way, see the desert from a locals perspective and enjoy a rejuvenating yoga session off the beaten path . We will meet at the trailhead of Echo Canyon and go over safety and goals. We will not be going to the top of the mountain, but instead, about 3/4 mile up and enjoy some special off trail spots for amazing photos and views. We will have a rejuvenating yoga session and time to take it all in before our trek down. With me as your experienced hiking guide, yoga instructor and photography enthusiast you're sure to have an amazing time, learn a lot about the Sonoran desert plants and have memories to last a lifetime! Private tours are available as well!! The best time (in my professional opinion) for this hike, no matter the time of year is closer to sunrise ( starting between 5-7am). It is always worth it to wake up that early to see the sun rise over the mountains, enjoy a much quieter hiking experience, avoid crowds and in the summertime, avoid overheating. The regularly scheduled times will vary during the year depending on our weather. No matter what time of year you're here, this experience will be the most unique and best way to experience Scottsdale's most popular hike, Camelback Mountain.

Let’s rise early to witness the magic of morning in the Sonoran Desert. Well hike two miles to watch the sun spread its warmth over the valley and take in the sounds of nature coming to life. We'll ditch the digital noise and escape to the natural world to observe, question, and reflect on the interconnections of the uniquely beautiful Sonoran Desert. Along the trail we’ll learn about the vegetation, geology, insects, and animals that surround us. This energizing experience will leave you renewed and ready for a beautiful day.

Message for further details regarding pricing per session instead of person. $350/session/hr regardless of number of people -- commonly. The number of pictures vary but I average ~60pictures. I also offer mini sessions -- $200/30min session. Let's take pictures and talk about pricing! The shoot will run for 1 hour at the Sonoran McDowell Preserve. We will meet in the parking lot and walk out on the trails leading to the desert setting. I will suggest poses and positioning for photos that relate to what you are looking for. The location provides a desert and natural theme. I have lived in Arizona for a few years now and have hiked all around Arizona from Tucson, Phoenix, Sedona, Grand Canyon, and Northern Arizona and believe this location appropriately alludes the essence of Arizona. Edited pictures are expected to be completed by 3 weeks and will be sent through a link so that the client will have access to them at anytime. If there are any further questions feel free to message me! Other things to note My photo shoot stands out from others in that I like to shoot a couple hours before sunrise or sunset. This is because the sun provides a very natural golden hue to pics -- golden hour. But I am also available during other hours of the day obviously because I am aware that people may be busy.

Join me in one of my most favorite places in the valley to see the stunning Arizona sunsets!

If you truly love animals, you’ll be in absolute heaven!! We’re talking dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin kind of heaven! Imagine standing under a mesquite tree with chickens at your feet, goats on spools, ducks splashing around, a mini zebu cow named Twister nudging you for more pets, llamas & an alpaca in close proximity, the subtle oinks of mini pigs, and curious emus invading your personal space. You’ll meet Hen Stefani, the celebrity chicken who inspired it all. With over 160,000 followers, her videos have be been viewed over 25 million times. Make sure to follow @hen_stefani on insta & tiktok If you’re deemed worthy, Finny aka the “naughty goat”, might come over and say hi. Otherwise, just expect to get the side eye. WARNING: You’ll be visiting a farm animal sanctuary. This is not a petting zoo. Basically, the animals call the shots. This is their home. While a lot of the animals enjoy pets and interaction, some only want to be observed. *My schedule is flexible so feel free to request other dates and times. Thanks so much for supporting Fluffy Top Sanctuary! All money goes towards feed and vet care. Can’t wait to meet you!
