- Hidden Valley - The Hidden Valley Nature Trail is our main hiking destination for the tour and, in our opinion, is the most scenic nature hike in Joshua Tree National Park. We will be hiking the easy to moderate 1 mile loop which takes about 45 minutes to complete. The granite rock formations and desert nature is surreal and aw inspiring. You’ll want to bring your camera and take lots of pictures as we walk along the breath-taking beauty of Hidden Valley.
- Keys View - Keys View is one of the four highest peaks in Joshua Tree National Park and you can see stunning views of the Coachella Valley and Transverse mountain ranges which lead into the Salton Sea and Palm Springs. On most days you can see the north edge of the Salton Sea.
- Cap Rock Trail - Cap Rock Nature Trail is a quick and easy .03 mile loop which only takes 15 minutes but is well worth the short hike. You will get a glimpse of the beauty of Joshua Tree National Park and the the desert nature that surrounds the area as you walk the Cap Rock Trail.

Private tour is the way to visit Joshua Tree! - Our guide, Spencer, was very knowledgeable about the park and extended area. He was fun, attentive, and patient as we had some traffic to contend with.

What an amazing adventure in the desert! - Our driver Frank knew the park like the back of his hand! He catered to the varied levels of our family by weaving in a great mix of spots. The energetic kids were able to scramble all over the rocks, and my parents, in their 70s, were able to join us down the manageable trails. We hit all the iconic spots and even saw some hidden gems. Frank is the best!

Best option for first timers to Joshua Tree National Park - Our tour guide, Frank, was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable and made my family's first visit to Joshua Tree NP enjoyable and comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour for folks visiting Joshua Tree NP for the first time and/or for people who would rather leave the stress and hassle of the many miles of driving and navigating to all the "sights" required once inside the park to a professional.

Perfect Day in Joshua Tree for our group tour - Incredible service from door to door! Frank was the perfect tour guide, as a local, he shared great info about Joshua Tree but the surrounding area. We had so much fun 'playing' in the park... scrambling on rocks and walking the trails.

Worth the experience - Frank was a knowledgeable guide.unfortunately the van did not have 2 working seatbelts (I inquired twice prior to booking) which left my husband in a dangerous situation. There was no microphone so only the first two rows of seats could hear anything during the van tour. Brakes were also not in tip top shape. If they fix the van the tour would be much improved! We learned a lot and had a good time as a family!
