Overview

I am a 20 year resident of the Mojave Desert and log 200 miles annually on foot within Joshua Tree National Park. Over the years and miles I've cultivated an awareness of landscape, ecological systems, and local culture that when contextualized by the trail becomes a narrative experience I'm eager to share. I landed in Joshua Tree after dropping out of college in 2001. Back then you arrived by chance or a friend of a friend said you had to check out the rocks, feel the energy, and camp under the stars. I fell in with the gathering characters, an assortment of dirtbag climbers, avant artists, practical new age visionaries, and entrepreneurs...an amalgam of identities that would go on to create the image of the High Desert that is so coveted today. I am legally permitted to guide within Joshua Tree National Park and happy to host you. I know my stuff and I want you to know it too.

What To Expect

Joshua Tree National Park

After working together to finalize our meetup time and location we'll begin a Full-Day Hike that will range between 6 and 9 hours. The route we hike will be customized to your interests, abilities, season, and weather on the day of. We'll focus on what is important to you or your group before you arrive so that I can design an experience that exceeds your expectations. Full-Day Hikes can be leisurely or strenuous, depending upon what the group desires, and is typically adjustable from moment to moment. Group members will be exposed to the diversity of High Desert flora, fauna, geology, and cultural history. Regular breaks will be built in for taking in the view, having some food, and discussing the unique characteristics of the area.
