Privé-36 uur avontuur in Joshua Tree National Park

My family of 4 enjoyed an awesome overnight adventure with Travis in the wilds of Joshua Tree National Park. Travis was super easy to work with and very communicative pre-trip. He took care of all the details and all we had to was show up and be ready for adventure. My boys are 15 and 12. It was the 12 year old’s first backpacking experience and Travis was very helpful in getting him set with the proper gear. He found us an amazing remote campsite. We loved bouldering and summiting the next rock after rock for endless unique views. Sunset was amazing, the camping food was good and the tents/sleeping bags warm and cozy. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to explore Joshua tree off the beaten path, learn a ton about all things Mohave desert and have a lot fun doing it.

I had an amazing overnight trip in Joshua Tree with Hollis. Hollis and I met outside the park and then travelled together to a backcountry camping trail. She was extremely prepared with all the appropriate equipment and gear required for an overnight in the park. We set off on an introductory hike and Hollis shared her extensive knowledge of the local ecology and geology. She found the perfect spot to set up camp and off-load our gear, and then we set out on a longer hike to an abandoned mine. Later we enjoyed a warm meal before bed, and although it was a bit too overcast for star-gazing, we enjoyed the evening listening to a nearby owl and learning more about the park. The next morning we packed up and enjoyed breakfast with a stunning view, and another hike that involved some more rigorous scrambling / climbing. The entire experience was amazing and exceeded my expectations. Hollis is skilled, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and (as an added bonus) she is incredibly personable. In real time, she adjusted our trajectory to make sure that the hikes suited my skill level and that I felt safe but challenged. Her curiosity for the natural surroundings was evident, and she shared knowledge that was tailored to my interests (plant medicine). Also, as a solo female traveler, I felt very safe throughout the journey. Having a guide absolutely elevated my experience in the park and I would recommend a day hike or overnight trip with Wandering Mojave to anyone visiting JT!

Thank you Travis, this was one of the best bonding experiences our family has ever had. We were all total trekking/camping novices at the start and usually a lot more comfortable in the city HOWEVER, you really opened our eyes to the joys of the great outdoors. We had an amazing overnight trek, you made it fun, informative & importantly, i felt very safe under you guidance. For other British families out there, Travis is the absolute real deal - basically California's version of Bear Grylls. Friendly, incredibly passionate about Joshua Tree Park & very knowledgable about all the inhabitants, from the plants to the animals. Highly recommend this trip to any families wishing to experience a truly unique experience with their kids. We loved it ???? Thank you Travis.
