Itinéraire
Nous vous proposons une visite informative et divertissante de Joshua Tree avec l'un de nos guides de géologie professionnels. Vous explorerez le parc avec un écoguide professionnel tout en explorant l'ancien paysage géologique qui était autrefois la maison des Indiens Serrano. Nous vous emmenons également dans les endroits les plus photographiés du parc et promenons-nous dans une zone où vous pouvez trouver des dessins rupestres indiens et même un vieux barrage laissé par des cow-boys depuis longtemps.
Explorez avec votre guide d'énormes formations rocheuses exposées à la surface de la Terre qui ont été produites par les forces mêmes de la faille de San Andreas à des kilomètres en dessous. Ici, les roches semblent s'équilibrer précairement les unes sur les autres dans un combat entre la gravité et les forces souterraines. Une promenade guidée facultative de 30 minutes est faite ici.
Cette formation rocheuse emblématique est l'un des endroits les plus populaires du parc pour les grimpeurs. Admirez les grimpeurs alors qu'ils défient les périls de la 3e dimension.
Faites une randonnée facultative avec votre guide Wilderness sur ce sentier tracé à l'origine par les Cowboys. Cela vous mènera à des pétroglyphes indiens ainsi qu'à une ressource en eau utilisée par les mouflons et les cerfs de haute altitude. Cette zone est entourée de formations rocheuses du Miocène vieilles de 20 millions d'années qui sont la destination prisée des grimpeurs experts du monde entier.
Admirez une vue qui s'étend sur des centaines de kilomètres. De ce point culminant de Joshua Tree, vous pouvez voir jusqu'à la mer de Salton et jusqu'au Mexique par temps clair. Vous pourrez peut-être même distinguer votre hôtel sur cet escarpement qui borde la célèbre faille de San Andreas. Regardez sous ce rebord où nous nous arrêterons et vous verrez la ligne de faille elle-même qui s'étend sur plus de 800 milles.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and hiking opportunities in the area. Be sure to ask questions about what you see. It made it interesting for the group when the guide would elaborate on topics because a question was asked.

A great way to see the national park if you don’t have your own transport. Great informative guide.
We appreciate your five-star review. Have a great day!
This was a fun tour and we had a great time!
Thanks for sharing the day with us! Come again soon.
We chose the meet option at the Welcome Center. It was a great starting point for buying passes and last bathroom break before the tour began. We meet Eddie and all others for the excursion inside the Welcome Center. Eddie has a great personality and shared interesting facts, history and information before, during and after the tour. Eddie offered to take photos with your phone at each stop. Halfway through the trip if you're in the first two rows of the van, you're asked to move to the back two rows. Everyone switches seats so great seats for all. Bottled water and granola bars snacks are available at each stop. Bathrooms are available at each stop we made, note there is no running water and it is a compost toliet. The park does a fantastic job keeping them clean and Eddie has hand sanitizer able. Tour advice: put sunscreen on before the excursion begins, prior to boarding the van. Two members in the tour group put on sunscreen at one of the stops in Joshua Tree, the bees wanted them from that point on. Wear long sleeve sun shirts, pants, hiking boots or sturdy sneakers. Yes it is 100+ degrees however in the elements it's the best way.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're delighted you enjoyed exploring Joshua Tree with Eddie. We appreciate your comments about the Welcome Center meeting location, seat rotation, photo opportunities, snacks, and restroom stops. Your practical advice about sunscreen and desert attire will certainly help future guests prepare for a comfortable visit. We hope to welcome you back to Joshua Tree again soon.
Austin was fantastic!! He was extremely knowledgeable about the park and he even took pictures of me at cap rock! Cold water and a granola bar were a nice treat. I would highly recommend booking with Austin for a great JT experience! It’s been on my bucket list after living in Palm Springs for so long and I’m so happy my guide was so great!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled Austin helped make your Joshua Tree experience so memorable. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again soon!
We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Tom was extremely knowledgeable and exuded a true love for the national park. I am thankful that I joined this tour. I would not have gotten as much out of the day if I had experienced the park on my own. An added bonus was Tom’s great playlist! - Kristen

Austin, our guide, was great. He was full of facts and fun to listen, too. He had great recommendations for Palm Springs restaurants, as well..
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that Austin helped make your visit enjoyable with his knowledge, stories, and local recommendations. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Joshua Tree again soon.
WONDERFUL experience! I HIGHLY recommend it. We took the 930am meeting at the Joshua Tree Welcome Center instead of the 830am meet up in Palms Springs. We left the welcome center promptly at 930 am and got into the first stop by 10am. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the site and provided excellent commentary which we would otherwise have not known if we were doing the tour ourselves (fumbling with the direction and reading the historical markers can be stressful and time consuming). We were provided cold water and granola bars - that was a welcome treat in the heat. We were back at base point meeting at 1230pm. So, for those of you who wants a stress free adventure, this is the way to go! Let the experts guide you and relax while having some fun.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the convenience of the Joshua Tree meeting location, the knowledgeable commentary from your guide, and the opportunity to relax while exploring the park. Our goal is to make visiting Joshua Tree informative, comfortable, and stress-free, and we are pleased that the tour exceeded your expectations. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another desert adventure in the future.
