Detailed itinerary

Hidden Valley is one of Joshua Tree National Park’s most iconic landscapes—a natural stone amphitheater surrounded by towering monzogranite formations. Travelers will see massive boulders, ancient rock outcrops, and sweeping desert vistas while learning about the geologic forces that shaped this valley. This stop offers a gentle walking loop through a world-class climbing area and gives guests the chance to photograph Joshua trees, sculpted rock walls, and wildlife that thrives among the granite formations.

Cap Rock Trail offers travelers an easy, scenic loop through one of Joshua Tree’s most photogenic rock gardens. Guests will see towering monzogranite formations, classic Joshua trees, and interpretive areas that explain the park’s natural history. This stop gives visitors time to stretch their legs, take photos, and learn how wind, water, and time sculpted the unique landscape around them.

Keys View is the park’s highest accessible viewpoint, offering sweeping panoramas across the Coachella Valley, the San Andreas Fault, and the rugged ridges of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. Travelers will step out to enjoy the fresh high-desert air, take photos from the scenic overlook, and learn how tectonic forces shaped the dramatic landscape stretching to the Salton Sea.

The California Welcome Center in Yucca Valley offers convenient parking and easy access before your tour. Inside, you’ll find Joshua Tree souvenirs, T-shirts, postcards, helpful guidebooks, and even a hot cup of coffee to start your adventure. Look for our bright yellow Hummer parked right out front at your scheduled departure time.
