Sky Island Treks is the answer for novice and first-time backpackers interested in the ultimate hiking experience: hiking the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River or Saguaro National Park. The idea is to create the most memorable experience for the trekker, instilling and inspiring a love for the outdoors while teaching fundamental techniques for treading lightly on the earth.

With increasing pressure on public lands, newcomers to outdoor recreation are sure to benefit from Sky Island's no-trace ethic, which teaches respect for wildlife values, water conservation, other forest users, route selection, handling of biological and inert wastes, fire safety, and overall attitude and ambience.

Sky Island's philosophy stems from guide Eb Eberlein's love of people and the vast beauty of Arizona's National Parks. In order to share his romance with Grand Canyon and Saguaro National Parks, Eb created Sky Island's personalized guide service options.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

- Henry David Thoreau
