I have wanted to visit Joshua Tree National Park for some time. I had limited time being in time for a conference and the weather was in the 110F! I also wanted to try the Jeep experience. This trip allowed me to achieve all my objectives and it exceeded my expectations. Steve, our guide, was so informative, attentive and entertaining. He drove us into the park through the Berdoo Canyon,ie the unpaved way (do not try to do this if you do not know how to drive a Jeep as you are doomed if the car breaks down in the heat and no cellular service! Go to the main visitor center and take the paved way). Steve knows the geology, history, trees and animals of the park very well. I learnt so much, enjoyed the different eco-environments of the park in the comfort of a well-air conditioned jeep. Steve took us to the Mission Creek Fault and gave us a taste of the dolce vita of the past in Palm Spring. What an incredible way of enjoying this unique National Park.
