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 Keys Point that will give you a stunning view of the valley below and a view that stretches all the way to Mexico.

Keys View

Gawk at a view that stretches for hundreds of miles. From this high point in Joshua Tree you can see as far as the Salton Sea and all the way down to Mexico on a clear day. You might even be able to make out your hotel on this escarpment that borders the famous San Andreas Fault. Look below this ledge we will stop at and you will see the fault line itself which stretches for over 800 miles.

Barker Dam Trail

We offer an optional mile walk on this view that meanders through jaw-dropping beauty that includes the monzo granite formations of Joshua Tree as well as forests of these ancient plants that survived the Ice Age. Your Hummer guide will escort you through this area and he is a certified Wilderness guide trained in the geology of this area as well as aware of its more recent Native American history.

Cap Rock Trail

This offers you an additional half-mile optional walk that loops you around precarious rock formations that balance upon one another. This is one of the most photographed areas in the park and well worth a stop and visit. Do not forget your cameras!

Our driver was great and extremely knowledgeable. He is very passionate about the region and it shows. I was under the impression though that we would be doing some more off-roading or going to places the public doesn't normally go. The whole trip was on highways and a very well maintained dirt road. I easily would have driven this trip myself, even our driver acknowledged that you can easily drive a rental car on this trip, but I would really miss the geology lesson! The desert vista and the solitude was great once we got to our destination.

Great tour! Went to parts of Joshua Tree National Park where the general public seldom go. Tour took about 5 hours door to door. Went to the highest part of the park and had some fantastic views. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Would highly recommend.

Jeff was a fabulous guide. He was able to spot big horn sheep,jack rabbits, and plenty other wildlife for us. His geographical and historical knowledge of the area made him a great travel companion. We combined our tour with some tennis watching at Indian Wells and Jeff was able to accommodate our itinerary perfectly. The tour we picked was great because it covered the San Andreas fault, Joshua tree national park, and we found it all inclusive.our teenagers enjoyed it a lot!!! So that pretty much says a lot!!! I think it was a great tour!!
