Joshua Tree National Park is like a fortress. When you are outside of it and looking at it, all you see are mountains. Created by the collision of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, these mountains have a terrific variety of human history, plant and animal communities, micro-climates, and geologic processes. We'll travel roads both paved and dirt, on and off trails, and over rocks to understand the deeper contexts of this National Park. Our guides have chosen this work to stay close to what they love, a vast landscape that exists whether rain comes or not. We are education-forward and adventure-conscious. We feel that sharing what we have learned about the Mojave and Colorado Deserts is our life's work. Come wander with us.
Service animals allowed. Specialized infant seats are available. Suitable for all physical fitness levels
After you book your trip, we'll find out where you're staying and meet you there at a time we decide together. We can pick up at hotels and vacation rentals in the Coachella Valley (Desert Hot Springs, Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, and Indio) and the Morongo Basin (Morongo Valley, Pioneer Town, Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, 29 Palms, and Wonder Valley). Travel time to Joshua Tree varies by location.
