Joshua Tree Guided Hikes
Who is the Guided Hiking program for?
Our Guided Hikes are appropriate for all ages and skill levels.

The only way to explore Joshua Tree National Park’s coolest spots is on foot with a Joshua Tree hiking tour! Our Guided Hiking Programs are all private and you will not be grouped with another party. This allows us to customize the day to suit your specific needs, and what you are looking to get out of it.

Our guide to participant ratio is 1:4. If you have more than 4 participants in your party you will have multiple guides, providing you with ample opportunity to achieve your goals, and the option of splitting the group if necessary.
We offer half day (4 hours) and full day (8 hours) guided hiking experiences. Because our programs are private, you can end your hike early if you decide you’re satisfied.
Hiking tour start time
Our guided hikes are set to default start times of 8am and 1pm, but we are happy to change this once you have made a reservation. In most cases, changing the start time will result in a shorter overall program because your guide is likely booked for a program after yours, and because the sun sets early for much of our season. We will do our best to accommodate your requests.
Meeting Location
Our default meeting location is the Joshua Tree National Park Visitor’s Center parking lot (6554 Park Blvd. Joshua Tree, CA 92252) You will receive a booking confirmation with a map link and more details. Meeting location is flexible, please contact us to arrange an alternative
Lunch
In an attempt to keep our rates low for you, we do not provide snacks or beverages. However, nice “grab n’ go” lunches can be purchased at the Roadrunner Café, which is attached to the Visitor’s Center where we meet.
What to expect at the park
You will need to follow your guide into Joshua Tree National Park in your own vehicle, probably a half hour or less. You will be required to show or purchase a park pass to enter. Please make sure your vehicle has plenty of charge and/or fuel when you arrive. To get an idea of the hikes we cando, feel free to check out our blog post
After the hiking tour
Our days end out in the park. Keep this in mind when you’re planning. You might want to drive around and see some sights or to watch the sunset and unwind afterward.
