JOSHUA TREE TOURS

Begin The Adventure Of Your Lifetime

Are you ready to become an expert in all things
"Joshua Tree"?

You finally decided to visit Joshua Tree.  AWESOME!  Now what?  That’s what we have heard again and again over the past 27+ years when our friends and family have visited us.  We searched every inch of the desert and researched all of the history and lore that makes Joshua Tree one of the most visited areas in the country. Nearly 3,000,000 visitors drive into the Joshua Tree National Park every year, but we teach you that Joshua Tree actually has THREE MAIN AREAS to visit: 

  • INSIDE THE PARK
  • OUTSIDE THE PARK
  • INSIDE THE VILLAGE

We offer both VIRTUAL TOURS and REAL-LIFE TOURS to transform you into a Joshua Tree Expert! 

Our VIRTUAL TOURS are an awesome way to “virtually” visit all of our amazing sites and prepare for your future visit to Joshua Tree. Try one of our Virtual Tours today… play from home and learn all of the local secrets!

Our REAL-LIFE TOURS are a Self-Guided, APP-Based, Self-Paced adventure combining a treasure hunt, scavenger hunt, escape room, geocaching, and adventure travel experience all into one spectacular journey!  Our real-life tours will guide you to each location using your cell phone’s GPS!

Real-Life
National Park Tour

NATIONAL PARK TOUR (NPT):  

  • (25) LOCATIONS
  • 76 MILES
  •  ABOUT 3-4 HOURS
  • USES CLUEKEEPER APP

Our Real-Life Joshua Tree National Park Tour will add a little bit of fun as you travel through the Park. You will start at the Joshua Tree Visitor Center (JTVC) on Park Boulevard and end at the 29 Palms Inn.  As you visit each unique location, we will challenge your mind with puzzles, ciphers, clues, and riddles.  Solve each one to move on to the next location or choose to skip the clue and move on.  Our APP works with “zero cellular service” so you will be able to complete the WHOLE adventure.  This tour is almost ALL inside the Park.

Your biggest prize is our PDF file that you will get with your purchase.  We created a stop-by-stop checklist for you to follow along as you make your way through this MASSIVE National Park.  We include every single possible stop, all 141 of them, but chose the 25 most notable and photogenic locations for you to experience during the Tour.   The Park is so huge that it could easily take you over 26 hours to visit, but we shorten it to 3+ hours.  Our checklist will help you keep track of where you are throughout your day so you can gauge how far you are into the park and how much longer you will be without cellular service.  YES, there is ZERO cellular service inside the Park so having our checklist will be worth a million dollars!

ENJOY THIS GLORIOUS NATIONAL PARK!  We think it is the most beautiful of the 61 National Parks across the United States of America and the best of the 9 National Parks in California.

UFO enthusiasts have the most wonderful inquisitive minds!  And guess what?
