Three of us hired Travis for 3 full day hikes in Joshua Tree Nat Park, and I also hired him for a full day hike in Joshua Tree. Each day, Travis guided us through totally different sections of the park. As Travis told us, Joshua Tree is his hobby, and he obviously delights in “all things in the park” (flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, insects, rocks, the park’s history and some of the characters who passed through the park...). We enjoyed his relaxed, friendly way of leading us, helping us learn about the wonders of Joshua tree, and always felt safe with him.

My husband and I scheduled an all day trip in Joshua Tree National Park. Our guide, Travis, was full of information to share with us. He showed us blooming wildflowers, trees, cacti, petroglyphs, birds, insects, and more. We visited the Cottonwood, Porcupine Wash, Challa Garden, and Lost Horse areas. Each of these sites were special in their own way but Travis made sure to avoid crowds. Exploring these sites with him was wonderful and educational, and we learned a lot. The booking process was smooth (prior to our hike) and our questions were answered quickly via email. This company offers a unique, personal service and you will be happy if you chose it to book and plan your hike.

I had an absolute fantastic day with Hollis! The weather was pretty changeable – blizzards, rain, wind and the odd sunny spell – so she tailored the day to ensure that I still had the best possible desert experience. We couldn’t hike as much so Hollis took me to a number of amazing spots that showed a wide range of terrain and plant life, also stopping whenever I wanted to take pictures. Later in the day, when the weather really turned against us, we visited the incredible Noah Purifoy Foundation of assemblage art, which provided a different, but equally enjoyable, taste of the desert. Hollis is a friendly, fun guide with a wide knowledge of the flora, fauna and geology of the region. She’s a first-class communicator and terrific company! I highly recommend a Wandering Mojave hike.

I'm still a novice hiker but have done many guided hikes around the world. But the hike that Travis from Wandering Mojave led me on in Joshua Tree left an imprint that is still with me. Truly the highlight of my stay in Palm Springs. The hike was a day of so many new experiences and discoveries; so rare to have these days as a slightly jaded 50 yr old New Yorker. His calm and focused passion for the desert as well as his sense of wonderment was infectious. He patiently and compassionately taught me some wonderful new skills about rock scrambling (which also apply to life). The day was meditative, mind clearing and energizing all at the same time. I'll definitely be back and you should most definitely just go.

Such a wonderful day of exploring in Joshua Tree NP. Beautiful scenery and hardly anyone in sight, the best. Travis is so knowledgeable about the area, not only with his way around but also pointed out many things along the way that I would have missed. I requested an intro to scrambling along with the day hike and it was perfect. Travis read my comfort level and provided opportunities that were spot on. He lent a hand, a shoulder and even a knee when I needed it and was such a pleasure to spend the day with. I can't say enough thanks and already look forward to coming back for more hikes. I would very highly recommend Wondering Mojave! I felt like the day was custom tailored to fit my request.

We just did our second hike with Travis and it was as wonderful as the first! Travis is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the park, including geology, flora, fauna, and history. He's also great at gauging your skill level -- what you can do, and what's safe for him to encourage you to try. He also has great recommendations for areas to explore on your own. Highly recommended, and we're looking forward to booking future hikes.

We had three days to explore JTNP and scheduled our full day hike for the first day. It was perfect because we learned so much about the area from Travis, then used his suggestions to visit other areas on day 2 and day 3. I would definitely consider scheduling an overnight so kids could learn backpacking.

We spent an amazing day exploring Joshua Tree National Park with Travis and could not recommend him and Wandering Mojave more highly! We wanted to see Joshua Trees and after some initial discussion by phone Travis set up a day that took us from the Cholla Gardens in lower-elevation western end of the park, below their preferred altitude, all the way to Eureka Peak, with its stunning 360-degree views. With a stop for some awesome bouldering and discussion of the park’s remarkable rock formations in between! Travis is extremely knowledgeable about the plants, animals, geology, and ecology of the Mojave Desert. But even more valuable, he’s a tremendous person - engaging and unassuming - and was just a blast to spend a day with. If you have any interest at all in seeing one of the country’s most remarkable places, we strongly suggest you reach out to Travis.

Really enjoyed our hike with Hollis. Learned a lot about the area and Mojave Desert. Would recommend highly.

Our hiking experience with Travis was nothing short of spectacular! Travis was warm, knowledgeable, and most importantly, fun! As someone who has visited Joshua Tree frequently, this was my favorite experience to date! Travis educated us on all the various flora and fauna we saw and shared in a way that makes you feel you are hanging with your best friends! 10/10 would recommend :)
