Lizard Hunting – one of the Wolf’s favorite past-times. Lizard Hunting – The Wolf is sure you’ll find it a fun thing to do! Leapin’ lizards! Yeah, I know it’s a corny phrase, but it’s true. Lizards really do leap. They also climb up sheer rock, skitter up trees and do these little movements that look like push-ups. Many blend seamlessly with their surroundings out here in the Sonoran Desert, so you have to look closely when you’re out on your tour or you’ll easily miss them. As a desert wolf that only gets Internet access to write my blog, lizards are my main form of entertainment. Their antics are adorable (just don’t go telling anyone that a big, bad wolf said so). And the Sonoran Desert is packed with gads of different lizard species. We have our spiny lizards,…

Hummingbird “humming” in the Sonoran Desert. Humming Birds in the Sonoran Desert More than a dozen different hummingbird species hover, dip and zoom around Southern Arizona, and you’re sure to see your fair share during your Sonoran Desert tour. Even though it may seem like a formidable wolf like myself wouldn’t pay much attention to these flighty little critters, they’ve actually taught me several valuable lessons. Do your own thing. Hummingbirds are dedicated loners who do their own thing. They don’t fly in flocks, only come together to mate and insist on having their own space. Male hummingbirds actually chase other males out of their territory, which can be a hoot! This doesn’t mean I’m about to give up my awesome wolf pack, but it does mean I try to be original and not just blindly follow the crowd. Be…

The Wolf Tells You How to Get the Most Fun Out of Your ATV Rental Tour. You have several ways you head out to tour the Sonoran Desert, but there’s only one way to really rock it. One way: You can saunter through the terrain on foot, like I do as a desert wolf. Another way: You can get crammed in somebody’s tour van or Jeep and hope for half a glimpse of a javelina through the back of some other passenger’s head. The way to rock it: You can drive yourself wild at the wheel of a heavy-duty, kick-butt Tomcar (like we let you do at Desert Wolf Tours). What the heck is a Tomcar? Tomcar ATV rental tour cruising through the rugged Phoenix, Scottsdale desert terrain. The Tomcar is one awesome off-road vehicle. It originated as a lightweight,…

Hey, we found one! Why the Wolf like the Sunset Scorpion Hunting ATV rental tours! You know how even the most mundane places can look cool and magical at night? Well, imagine what happens in the Sonoran Desert, which looks cool and magical in the day. Scoping out the desert at night is one glorious adventure to behold, and you can behold it all you want with our awesome sunset tours. Nocturnal Critters Although you’ll sometimes catch us desert wolves roaming around in the daytime, we’re basically nocturnal creatures. And one of the biggest thrills of staying up all night is hanging out with all the other nocturnal critters skittering about the desert. The javelinas are probably the most amusing. These pig-like creatures grunt, forage and would even knock trash cans over if there were any out here. If you’re…

Come join the Wolf on an ATV rental tour. The Wolf knows a thing or two about desert survival. If you think Phoenix-area traffic jams can be brutal, just wait until you meet summertime in the Sonoran Desert. While temps can soar up to 120 degrees and the sun can feel like it’s baking your very bones, you can still schedule an Arizona desert off-road adventure tour in the summer – as long as you do so wisely. As a desert wolf stuck in a fur coat all year long, I’ve long learned to be wise during the hottest months. So can you. Choose your hours. The only way to enjoy the desert in the summer is in the morning or evening, which keeps you out of the searing afternoon heat. We even switch our tour schedule on June 1…

Want to see a rattlesnake?  The Wolf says an ATV rental tour is your best bet. Everyone loves the rattlesnake. Maybe “love” is not exactly the right word, but everyone surely wants to see one when they visit the Sonoran Desert. As a wolf living in the desert, I learned long ago these snaky critters aren’t exactly lovable, although they can make pretty good pals if you treat them right. Don’t mess with this guy! The first rule of paw, or thumb, is not to mess with them. If you see one hanging around, simply back up slowly and get at least 6 feet away from the thing. Don’t kick it. Don’t poke at it with a stick. And for goodness sake, don’t go trying to pick it up. A rattlesnake handler once told me that a big chunk of…
