Camp On A Cliffside High Above The Clouds With Arizona Mountain Guides

Arizona has tons of unique campgrounds worth checking out, but few offer the experience of sleeping underneath the stars with hardly anyone else around. With Arizona Mountain Guides, you can pitch a tent on a cliffside high above the clouds and spend the night in blissful solitude.

If the only rock climbing you've done has been inside a gym, the thought of grinning and bearing it up an actual mountain is probably a bit intimidating.

That's where Arizona Mountain Guides comes in. Veteran-owned and operated, this Mesa adventure outfitter turns novice climbers into experts in no time.

With a variety of classes to choose from, Arizona Mountain Guides offers excursions ranging in length from four hours to overnight.

Prices range from $300 per person for basic climbs to $1200 per portaledge for longer trips.

All skill levels are welcome, whether you're a newbie or have been climbing for years.

Beginner classes teach the fundamentals and educate first-timers on topics such as equipment, pacing, and stamina so you can learn the ropes (pun intended) before setting off on your adventure.

Choose between climbing or canyoneering, the latter of which sometimes requires swimming if the canyon is "wet."

No experience is needed for either.

You can also camp high above the clouds in a portaledge, with all the necessary gear provided to you.

You'll pitch your tent on a rocky cliffside, enjoying the blissful solitude that only the stillness of nature can provide.

So whether you're looking to rappel down a waterfall or scale some of the highest mountains in the Grand Canyon State, there's something for thrill-seekers of all persuasions.

You've never experienced Arizona's great outdoors quite like this.

Address: 65 East 1st Avenue, Mesa, AZ 85210.

Hours are 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily.
