A beautiful morning, time well spent with a great guide! - Timothy was very helpful prior to the hike with instructions on directions and how to prepare. He was very kind and knowledgeable about the area and I learned a lot! He knew when to pause up the traverse and when to begin again as it is steep! At the top of the hike it was gorgeous and adding his special meditation with an Oracle card reading was up my alley! I definitely recommend anyone visiting to spend time with Timothy on this hike.

Breath And Take It All In - Wonderful hike. With the early morning hike and terrain, Timothy was patient and took mindful breaks for our group. Made it to the top just in time for the sunrise and views of the local mountain goats. Finished off with with a group meditation before our descend back down.

Pleasantly Surprised and Grateful - Timothy was absolutely amazing! I required time for a slow and steady climb, he graciously paced our group accordingly. It took us about an hour to get to the spot where we viewed the sunrise, and it was perfectly magestic. Going in I had doubts that I was physically capable and Timothy did an incredible job of helping me realize my own capabilities. I joined this hike and grounding with my 14 year old son and it was all around a perfect activity and journey.

Sunrise energy - Timothy is an amazing tour guide and the hike will not disappoint! I felt energized and refreshed to take in the views and the meditation allowed me to release any extra energy and feelings that I was wanting to let go. I really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend if you enjoy hiking and beautiful sunrises!

A grounding experience - Highly recommend a sunrise hike and meditation! Words will not do justice to the lived experience of, hinking to the viewing point followed by a guided meditation and feeling the hot sun rise. Truely grateful for owner/guide Timothy! Oh yeah and we saw the bighorn sheep that lives in the area!! Much appreciation for the whole experience

Mountain sunrise hike and meditation in Palm Springs - The hike started very early in the dark under the sparkly stars in the sky, but both quickly and slowly (!) saw the light fill the beautiful mountain ranges as we hiked. Timothy is a wonderful guide and seeing the sunrise was breathtaking and the meditation at the peak of this hike was very relaxing. We very highly recommend this guided hike!

Great experience with even better views. - Tim was a wonderful guide and was incredibly professional and organized from the initial communication I received from him. The walk was a manageably challenging and described perfectly by him ahead of time. The views were beautiful, and learned a lot of fun facts along the way. Highly recommend!
