    Itinerary

    Go beyond the roadside viewpoints and experience the adventurous side of Joshua Tree National Park on this active hiking and boulder-scrambling tour. Designed for travelers looking for more than a traditional sightseeing experience, this adventure takes you on foot into Joshua Tree's incredible landscape of massive granite boulders, narrow rock corridors, hidden passages, and rugged desert terrain. Along the way, you'll hike through the desert and scramble over and around large rock formations, squeezing through narrow passages and discovering areas that many visitors simply drive past. Your guide will help you navigate the route while sharing stories about Joshua Tree's geology, desert environment, wildlife, and fascinating history. This is an active adventure that requires good mobility, balance, and a reasonable level of fitness. You'll be using your hands and feet while scrambling in sections, but no technical rock-climbing experience or specialized climbing equipment is required. If you're looking to get out of the vehicle, climb some rocks, explore hidden corners of the desert, and experience Joshua Tree in a more adventurous way, this tour is for you.
