With a very friendly style and rich knowledge, tour guide Bruce provided a very comprehensive introduction to Joshua Tree park, beginning in the lower Sonoran Desert with a sparser ecosystem and gradually ascending to the Mojave Desert, where the stunning Joshua trees (yucca plants) dance in front of the dramatic backdrop of huge monzogranite boulders, which emerged over centuries of climatic change and tectonic pressure into marvelous otherworldly formations as though giant children had left their building blocks. Bruce paced the tour well, led us on brief hikes, provided many photo opportunies, and was a fund of information, such as the wind turbine farms near Palm Springs. I also appreciated that Adventure Hummer Tours accommodated me on this tour after the one I had originally signed up for was cancelled and the pick-up and drop-off was smooth.
