The tour itself will take you through some of the most beautiful desert regions in all of Arizona. You will enjoy a botanical walk identifying the Arizona cacti. The desert is full of wildlife and the drivers are quick to point out any deer, jackrabbits, javelina or other wildlife that might cross your path.

Hiking Tours
Our hiking tours are designed to bring you and your group an enjoyable, informative, and invigorating wilderness experience. Through movement and breathing, hiking expands our physical, emotional and spiritual selves. Our guides will be glad to tell you all about the plants and animals of our unique region. They will also give you a sense of the rich heritage of the Native Americans and Pioneers who made the Sonoran Desert their home. Accommodations can be made for all fitness levels. We provide a daypack, trail munchies, and a quart of spring water.

Soaring
If you drive and look into the vastness of the Arizona Desert, it can seem inert and solemn. But fly over it, and you will experience a unique perspective that brings the scenic grandeur to life. You will experience Southern Arizona’s most breathtaking scenery via a 2-man glider. Your 20 to 30 minute glide is destined to be an exhilarating experience. Private groups are only available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Note: There is a 240 pound weight limit for this event.

Cattle Drive
A day you’ll always look back on: the real experience of a western cattle drive, with all the sights and sounds that make up a cowboy’s life: the incomparable scenery among the saguaros, the joy of commanding a herd of longhorns and other cattle from horseback, the unforgettable songs and stories of cow-punchers make this a unique experience for city dwellers.

Spelunking (Caving)
Come join the guides at Colossal Cave as we take you into the bowels of the earth. We will descend into this cave with hard hats and lights. Guided by knowledgeable guides we will travel approximately 135 feet under ground and 1/4 mile into the mountainside, all this in a one mile journey. As we begin we will ascend and descend “ladders” placed by work crews years ago to facilitate the exploration of this cave. Catwalks across chasms will be traversed. This will be a walk on the wild side. Narrow passageways to expansive rooms will be witnessed. Make sure you duck to miss banging your head. Good chance we will encounter the local inhabitants of this cave, various bats.

Rappelling
Lazy K Bar Ranch offers a beginners rappelling course in the heart of the Tucson Mountains. The rappelling instructors conduct a training session on the ground, then it’s time to “suit up the climbers”, complete with helmets and be-lay lines. A scenic 15 minute hike takes guests up to the back of the Volcanic formed Tucson mountains. From this area the climbers will work with the lines, along with the instructors from the top and another from the bottom, who will guide climbers back down to the ground, approximately 75 feet. This activity is a sure hit for the adventurous outdoorsman.
