Tour Options
Itinerary
Quail Springs Trail
Our first stop on our tour and maybe one of the best, Quail Springs is a playground of rocks and boulders which are said to be some of the oldest in the park, around 1.7 billion years old, much older than the dinosaur. Fun stop, great for photos and walking around some old granite boulders.
Banana Cracks Rock
We will take you straight to the big rocks of Hemmingway called Banana Cracks. Advanced rock climbers climb these boulders but for us we can just look at them and marvel at their beauty. Lots of beautiful Joshua Trees and giant boulders which you can walk on and take pictures.
Hidden Valley
Hidden Valley is the main area of Joshua Tree National Park and is full of enormous rock formations, campers, and rock climbers. We will stop here and take a walk around and explore some of the famous giant metamorphic rocks.
Keys View
One of the best views of Coachella Valley and the little San Bernardino mountains. Close to 5500 feet in elevation Keys View is one of the highest elevations in Joshua Tree National Park and one of the best views. Mesmerizing views of the Coachella Valley and the Transverse mountains. On a clear day you can see the Salton Sea , the San Andreas Fault lines, and Palm Springs. Incredible view.
Cap Rock Trail
A quick stop at Cap Rock which offers a nice easy walking area and surreal scenic views of the national park. You'll see lots of amazing formations of Joshua Trees everywhere as you walk along the trail which goes along Cap Rock.
Skull Rock
(OPTIONAL) Skull Rock is an optional stop on our Joshua Tree National Park Tour and is an iconic rock in the park which has been featured in movies and is somewhat famous. It's a great area for tourists and kids as the rocks are easy to walk or jump around, and the main attraction is this one giant boulder that looks like a Skull. Great place for some cool photos.
