Jaden & Ryan were our Stone Adventures guides. They did a great job leading us on our climbing adventure and were fantastic working with our kids (2) 5yo girls and (2) 7yo boys. This trip will no-doubt turn out to be a core memory four our family!
Mason was awesome! He was very patient and knew exactly how to push us to challenge ourselves while offering the right kind of help when we needed it. We did rope climbing on the rocks followed by the cave and both were unforgettable experiences for my husband and I and our 7 year old daughter.
Thank you so much for the review! We had a blast climbing with you guys at Cap Rock and exploring The Chasm of Doom! Let us know next time you are visiting Joshua Tree National Park, we would live to climb with you again! -Jaden Wyszpolski
We took our 6 and 8 year olds for the half day climb. They had a little indoor kid climbing experience, but this was their first time outdoors. Ryan was amazing! He did a great job teaching the kids, and listening to them and assessing their abilities. The kids loved it the whole time. We had been a little hesitant beforehand if they were old enough to do this, but we were immediately put at ease and we would highly recommend for families!
Thank you so much for the review! We had a blast climbing and rappelling with you guys at Jellystone and Cap Rock! Let us know next time you are visiting Joshua Tree National Park, we would live to climb with you again! -Jaden Wyszpolski
Luke and Mason made the trip. The fact that they love the park and what they do and seem to consider it a calling rather than a job made us feel comfortable. Their easy going, friendly attitudes made the trip comfortable . The highlight for me was the rock tunnels they guided us through. A unique experience that has us already planning a return trip.
Thank you so much for the review! We had a blast climbing with you guys out on the Boyscout Trail and exploring The Chasm of Doom! Let us know next time you are visiting Joshua Tree National Park, we would live to climb with you again! -Jaden Wyszpolski
We had a phenomenal day with our Stone Adventures guide, Ryan. He made us feel safe during our first outdoor climbing experience and was amazing with our kids — ages 7 and 10. We felt safe, encouraged, and capable on our climb. The scramble at the end was a big hit for the kids as well. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your love for Joshua Tree with us. We will never forget this experience.
Fantastic trip of rock climbing and caving with our family of four (kids ages 11 and 9)! Our guide Mason was incredible, fun, friendly, and supportive of all of us. He tailored a great trip for the interests and abilities of each member of our family. Such a blast and highly recommended!
We had an incredible experience climbing in Joshua Tree National Park. Our guide Mason was amazing; he was clearly very knowledgeable about the area, incredibly patient with our two young boys, and had a cool, calm demeanor that was very reassuring during some tougher parts of the climb as well as our adventure into the Chasm of Doom! It was such a great way to explore the park and we could not recommend this experience enough!
Stone Adventures were great! The communication before hand was responsive and they answered all my questions for our family climbing adventure at Joshua Tree. The guides Mason and Howard were super patient with my kids and accommodated all our requests. We had a fantastic time and even my elderly mother who sat to watched enjoyed herself. Highly recommend them!
We had a great morning rock climbing! Ryan was a true professional, explaining everything from the plant life to the climbing culture with all of us. We felt extremely safe climbing at Jellystone with our daughters (6 and 9). They both responded differently to the challenge and Ryan was great with all of it. When our younger daughter felt fearful coming down, he was able to support her beautifully. When others in our group were ready for a bigger challenge, he was able to provide it. This was a fantastic way to take advantage of the chance to rock climb at Joshua Tree National Park with younger kids and everyone felt like it was a highlight of our trip. Strongly recommend Stone Adventures for anyone visiting the park.
