Top 10...more like top 116! Get ready for over 8 hours of Musical VIBES!

Joshua Tree is music and music is Joshua Tree.  We don’t even have to blink… John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Donovan, Gram Parsons, Iggy Pop, Queens of the Stone Age, The Foo Fighters, Rufus Du Sol, The Eagles, Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Ice Cube, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Machine-gun Kelly… tell us to stop or it will never end.  Joshua Tree is a literal magnet for creative types… ESPECIALLY Musicians.  We are going to cut this short… get to the music.

QUICK TRIVIA:  How many songs ever made mention the desert in the lyrics?  9,528 different songs use the word DESERT! That’s pretty wild when you think of it! We squeezed that list down to 113 songs running for 8 hours and 21 minutes.  Plenty to get you here from Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Beyond… It is also just about enough to get you through all of our Real-Life Tours.  🙂

We are doing our absolute best to reinvigorate the dream of “ADVENTURE”! That feeling you get when you watch Indiana Jones, Uncharted, National Treasure, The Goonies… you get it. But it take a LOT of time, effort, creative, photoshoots, drone hours, certifications, permits, and most of all, RESEARCH, to do what we do. If you can, please donate to keep us alive. Creating movie-quality adventure tours and all of the beautiful content you see takes a lot… and it’s mostly unsung hero syndrome :) And we want to donate more and more to our local charities and other up and coming artists/musicians. Donate now! :)
