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.

We took this tour with Zach yesterday afternoon. Great itinerary, awesome scenery but the best part was Zach’s friendly and very professional manner along with his in depth knowledge of the park, it history, flora and fauna. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in Joshua Tree National Park.

We are a family of 8 from Chicago and planned this hummer tour months ago. Fortunately when the weather turned cold and they accommodated us with a large van that fit all of us. Our guide was Zach and he was excellent! He was friendly, well educated and informative and took us to some amazing areas. Despite the cold and snow! we had a fabulous time and took some awesome pictures! Thank you Bill for helping us work it all out.
