What To Expect

Las Vegas (Pass By)

On the way to the park our expert guide will tell you all about the Mojave Desert and the adventure we're embarking on. There will be plenty of snacks and water for our journey.Unlike other tours we take you on a few trails, each offering its own unique story from ancient petroglyphs, to a movie set left from a 1965 film, to a Southern Paiute outlaw who used this trail as an escape from the law.On your adventure you'll learn about the deep red Aztec sandstone that makes up the park, along with the plant and wild life - hopefully we'll see a majestic bighorn sheep or even a herd!After conquering the Mojave Desert we'll have a cooler full of ice-cold, local craft beer for you to enjoy.*Note: This is a sample itinerary and can change based on the group's experience and park closures. From May 15th - September 30th the park closes some trails, including the Fire Wave and White Domes trails due to the extreme heat. Unfortunately, no tour operator can bring you here during this time*
