What To Expect

Joshua Tree National Park

We provide you an informative and entertaining tour of Joshua Tree with one of our professional geology guides. We will take some roads where a 4x4 is required where few people will ever see. We also take you to the most photographed places in the park and take a walk in an area where you can find Indian cave drawings and even an old dam left by cowboys long past.

Cap Rock Trail

Explore with your guide enormous rock formations exposed at the Earths surface that were produced by the very forces of the San Andreas Fault miles beneath. Here rocks seem to precariously balance upon one another in a fight between gravity and subterranean forces. A 30 minute optional guided walk is made here.

Intersection Rock

This iconic rock formation is one of the most popular places in the park for rock climbers. Gawk at the climbers as they challenge the perils of the 3rd dimension.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Five of us (me, hubby, his two adult kids and one spouse) took the Joshua Tree Backroads Hummer H2 tour with Gary. We had a great time! Gary arrived at our hotel early, was knowledgeable, thorough and (bonus round!) entertaining in his delivery! We had a great experience that left us wanting to return to the area again someday. Thanks, Gary and AHT!

We had a great tour with Jeff. jeff really listened to the preferences of his passengers and adjusted the itinery based on that. Lively discussions in the Hummer. We went to great and quiet spots and went back when the time was right. Great adventure!
