High Sonoran Desert Photo Rally

Competitive team building fun for the entire group!
Groups are first divided into teams of 5 or 10 depending upon the size of the total group.

The fun begins as each team is given a Polaroid camera, a set of clues and the chance to unleash their imagination. After departing from the Resort in our 4x4 desert vehicles the team will work together to unravel a series of clues that will lead them to the destinations they seek. Once they arrive they will take a unique photograph of their team. Each team will receive points for composition and creativity of their photos and creating a team name. When they reach their final destination, teams will be given the opportunity to obtain bonus points by performing a team cheer that captures the essence of their team spirit. When all is said and done scores will be tallied, the winners announced and prizes for the winning team will be presented.

A cowboy desert cookout can be added to your event for groups with 10 guests or more.

Appropriate footwear required

Climb aboard a custom rigged 4x4 and travel back in time to the "Old West".

The Sonoran Desert, often referred to as the "living desert", boasts an abundance of plant and animal life like no other desert in the world. Visitors are constantly amazed to discover how lush and green our desert actually is, and at the incredible number of animal species that make this desert their home.

Undoubtedly, the best way to experience the spectacular beauty of the Sonoran Desert is up close and personal on your own private four-wheelin' adventure. From the front door of the hotel, authentic cowboy and Native American guides in western and traditional garb will take you north to the magnificent Granite Mountain trails where the effects of man have not yet spoiled the natural desert landscape.

Expert guides knowledgeable in Arizona History and legend, conduct entertaining and informative nature walks identifying the numerous varieties of cacti and other desert plants to be found. They will explain how the indigenous peoples learned to utilize these tremendous resources for food, clothing and shelter. Occasionally, visitors may even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of an eagle, jackrabbit, coyote or the elusive javelina... and, yes, even the infamous rattlesnake of which there are more than a dozen varieties in the desert southwest.

After your fun in the desert you'll enjoy some authentic cowboy grub under a star filled desert sky at our private scenic cookout site complete with bathrooms and rain backup.

Singing around the campfire is mandatory. Even the coyotes like to join in.

Minimum of 10 guests required.
Valid through May 31, 2010
