What To Expect

Joshua Tree National Park

Our shuttle van will take you to the city of Joshua Tree where we trade for our H-1 Military Hummer to complete your adventure. We climb to the top of a breathtaking overlook called Eureka Peak that will give you a stunning view of the valley below and a view that stretches all the way to Mexico.

Big Morongo Canyon Preserve

Nestled among the Little San Bernardino Mountains in the Sand to Snow National Monument, the desert oasis at Big Morongo Canyon is one of the 10 largest cottonwood and willow riparian habitats in California. The upstream end of the canyon lies in the Mojave Desert, while its downstream portion opens into the Colorado Desert. There are numerous trails to walk and hike, including a wheelchair-accessible boardwalk through the marsh and riparian habitats. At 31,000 acres with elevations ranging from 600 feet on the canyon floor to 3000 feet at the top of the ridge, this diverse landscape has been an important part of the Morongo Basin’s natural and cultural history for almost two billion years.

Absolutely loved this tour! Our guide/driver Zach was so knowledgeable, having worked and volunteered a lot in this and other national parks. He took us off the beaten path deep into the park to a fab viewpoint on a dirt road, answering all our questions about the topography, geology and plant and animal life. Desert beauty is like no other, so special and the Joshua trees when seen as a forest are so unique. The rock formations are beautiful, as are many of the other plants. Very educational for both adults and children. We are lucky that our country preserves these lovely wildernesses so we still have natural areas to enjoy and learn from.

There is no better happiness then getting closer to the Earth and the feel and knowledge that we are all interconnected. Zach is a superb teacher and you were lucky to have him aboard our tour to explore the truly unique and breathtaking environment of Joshua Tree National Park

This was a great tour. The driver / guide was outstanding. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about the area, the geology, the Valley, the fault lines, the Palm Springs area in general and in its growth and development.
