About Wilds of Arizona
Wilds of Arizona is a family‑run adventure and lodging company dedicated to sharing the beauty, history, and rugged character of Arizona’s lesser‑traveled backcountry. Led by Andrew Colburn and his family, our team blends deep local knowledge with a passion for exploration, creating safe, affordable, and unforgettable experiences for guests seeking something beyond the ordinary.
From remote canyon cabins and private campsites to guided off‑road tours, underground mine exploration, and scenic day passes, we offer access to landscapes few travelers ever see. Our mission is simple: to open the door to authentic Arizona—its waterfalls, wildlife, mining heritage, and wild canyon terrain—while providing the kind of hospitality that makes every guest feel like part of the family.
Whether you’re staying in one of our historic cabins in Ash Creek Canyon or joining us for an off‑road adventure in Mesa, we’re here to help you experience Arizona with curiosity, confidence, and a true sense of place.
