Overview

Joshua Tree National Park is like a fortress. When you are outside of it and looking at it, all you see are mountains. Created by the collision of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, these mountains have a terrific variety of human history, plant and animal communities, micro-climates, and geologic processes. We'll travel roads both paved and dirt, on and off trails, and over rocks to understand the deeper contexts of this National Park. Our guides have chosen this work to stay close to what they love, a vast landscape that exists whether rain comes or not. We are education-forward and adventure-conscious. We feel that sharing what we have learned about the Mojave and Colorado Deserts is our life's work. Come wander with us.

Itinerary

  • Joshua Tree National Park

    "Where two deserts meet" Comprised of nearly 800,000 acres, Joshua Tree National Park represents two unique deserts (Mojave and Colorado) and contains three unique botanical zones. Expansive views, outrageous rock formations, and the iconic Joshua Tree make this national park a unique place to experience the deserts of Southern California. The driving time to and from the National Park is 1 hour or less and we'll spend 5 to 7 hours inside the park.

Joshua Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Travis is extremely intelligent and happy to share his knowledge about the geology, flora and fauna within the park. He was kind and considerate, tailoring our day perfectly to our interests. We had a Fabulous experience!

Best Hiking and Drive Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour of Joshua Tree National Park that Travis gave us was second to none. We covered a lot of ground on his hybrid tour, which included short walks to interesting off-road sights, and learned many fascinating facts about the history, geology, flora, and fauna of the park and the region. He pointed out many features of the park that we would not have noticed on our own. We highly recommend Travis as a guide for anyone who wishes to explore Joshua Tree. We are looking forward to another opportunity to go out with him to visit other parts of the park that we missed on this first visit.

Fantastic day, great experience

We had an incredible time. Travis is so knowledgeable and friendly and knew all the best places to take us. He even managed to get our two cranky tweens to enjoy it!

Great tour.

Published on Apr, 2024

Very happy we arranged this tour. Wandering Mojave was very easy to work with, and our guide Travis was great -- very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and adapted to our interests. We did the "hybrid" drive and hike tour, which took us to very different parts of the park. "Hiking" was very light -- more like some short flat nature walks. I'm sure the proper hikes would be great too, but the hybrid approach is a good way to sample and learn. All four of us agreed that we got waaayyy more out of the JT visit than we would have without the tour.
