We travelled from Ireland to a conference in Desert Springs and went with another couple on a tour to Joshua Tree National Park on a Sunday in December.
We started at the Palm Tree oasis on San Andreas Fault, and then spent a number of hours at the Joshua Tree National Park.
Very enjoyable tour, really made great by the expertise and enthusiasm of Gary, our knowledgeable guide, who gave us a good understanding of the geology, ecosystem, flora and fauna of the park.
Gary is a man if many talents, musical as well as Earth Science, and we had a fun lunch at the Joshua Tree Saloon on the way back to the hotel.
Would definitely recommend.
