Had a fun and easy adventure to Joshua Tree with an excellent guide, Ron. Perfect weather graced our adventure group with amazing primordial rock formations back dropped by verdant green Dr.Suess-like ancient Joshua Trees. Our groups senses were touched with glorious purple and yellow spring desert flowers just peaking open as mischievous black ravens glided through the azure and rust ski and landscape. Hidden in an ancient secret cave we discovered an amazing early Native American spiritual site graced with rock paintings. Keys View topped off the journey with sweeping panoramic views of the desert, sky and mountains from The Salton Sea, to Palm Springs, Mt. San Jacinto and beyond. As we were bidding farewell to the park a bit of wry humor popped up.....the headstone of Johnny Lang, a colorful gold prospector smack atop the Lost Horse Gold Mine. The legend of Johnny's life and quest for gold has many amazing versions but one thing for sure, the real treasure in Joshua Tree is the sense of peace and tranquility you feel embraced under a canopy of timeless untouched, protected nature.

Trip provides a great overview of Joshua Tree and the surrounding area. Ron our driver and tour guide was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, went out of his way to be accommodating and gave many fun behind the scenes facts about Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree itself. It takes a while to get into the main part of the park, but Ron did his best to keep the travel time interesting. I would recommend this trip especially for first timers to the area and Joshua Tree!
