Randonnée d'une journée complète dans le parc national de Joshua Tree

Aperçu
Je suis un résident de 20 ans du désert de Mojave et parcourt 200 miles par an à pied dans le parc national de Joshua Tree. Au fil des années et des kilomètres, j'ai cultivé une conscience du paysage, des systèmes écologiques et de la culture locale qui, lorsqu'elle est contextualisée par le sentier, devient une expérience narrative que j'ai hâte de partager.
J'ai atterri à Joshua Tree après avoir abandonné l'université en 2001. À l'époque, vous êtes arrivé par hasard ou l'ami d'un ami a dit que vous deviez vérifier les rochers, ressentir l'énergie et camper sous les étoiles.
Je suis tombé sur les personnages rassemblés, un assortiment d'alpinistes, d'artistes avant-gardistes, de visionnaires pratiques du nouvel âge et d'entrepreneurs... un amalgame d'identités qui allait créer l'image du Haut Désert si convoitée aujourd'hui.
Je suis légalement autorisé à guider dans le parc national de Joshua Tree et heureux de vous accueillir. Je connais mon affaire et je veux que vous le sachiez aussi.

In early May, I went on an overnight backpacking/camping trip in Joshua Tree National Park with Travis Puglisi of Wandering Mojave Hiking Service. We started the hike in the upper Covington Flats, made camp in the lower Covington Flats, and continued the next morning on the California Riding and Hiking Trail to Juniper Flats where we concluded the hike. I don’t usually write reviews about my tour experiences but I am making an exception this time because my experience was truly exceptional. To say that I am a beginner backpacker/hiker is an understatement: I only just started hiking in April. But I wanted to learn more about backpacking and camping, so a hiking guide in Palm Springs referred me to Travis because he said that Travis is an experienced guide who could teach me the basics. Travis is very professional and thorough. He asked me to fill out a questionnaire so that he could determine my hiking experience and fitness level as well as my expectations for the tour. He then prepared a hiking course that was tailored for me, and provided all of the food (which was good), equipment and water for the trip. He also explained how to use the equipment, such as how to pack a backpack, how much water to take on a trip, how to use trekking poles, and how to put up a tent. The trip itself was amazing. I live in New York City so it was an incredible experience to see the stars at night from my tent at a campsite in the middle of Joshua Tree. And the pictures I posted with this review only begin to describe the beauty of the landscape that I saw. Travis is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher, so I learned a lot about the ecosystem of the Mojave Desert, particularly how the plants, animals and other organisms, as well as the weather and landscape interact with each other. Not surprisingly, he’s also a passionate steward of the land who believes that it should be preserved to benefit future generations. (On several occasions, I saw him pick up litter left by others.) In sum, Travis provided a exciting, safe, and transformative trip. I am now definitely hooked on hiking/backpacking, and look forward to scheduling another trip with Travis at Wandering Mojave. I highly recommend him.

We had an absolute blast with Travis! He completely tailored our private hike to our requests (wanted to see all kinds of trees, flowers, and plants, and landscapes, and didn't want to see other people around). Highlight for me was when he decided to take us up a rocky/boulder portion of a mountain. We loved it and it was so fun navigating the rock climbing. We would have absolutely never known we could have accessed the route by going up that part of the mountain. Travis was also incredibly knowledgeable about all the plants, cacti, flowers, and even sand patterns in the dessert. We learned sooo much. Made sure we saw beautiful, different parts of the park (it's huge and we've been multiple times!). Highly recommend Travis!!

One of my best hiking days ever! Travis was an excellent guide and we had such a good time together with much interesting conversation. I really appreciated his love for the desert and the time he took to teach me about the different plants and animals rock formations and everything that we were seeing. I'm really looking forward to my next hike with him and would highly recommend his services!
