The Joshua Tree National Park Extreme Adventure Jeep Tour
The Joshua Tree National Park Extreme Adventure Jeep Tour

A national park is a vacation experience unique from the norm. A national park emphasizes spiritual qualities and a naturalistic attitude over the more commercial excitement of a traditional theme park. Many vacationers prefer state or national parks over resorts, as they are more suited towards outdoorsmen and families that enjoy camping and interacting with wildlife. Though some theme parks may have trained animal entertainers, nothing quite compares to seeing animals in their natural habitat. This is just one of the reasons why National Parks are very popular with tourists, along with activities of camping, rock climbing, backpacking and biking.

The Joshua Tree National Park formerly existed as a National Monument. It wasn't until the year 1994 that it was institutionalized as a National Park.  However, this wilderness area has always featured some amazing sights, sounds and outdoor adventures. The park covers a large area and has many Joshua tree forests, as well as bird watching and mountain climbing recreational activities. The area is 1,234 miles of forest, mountains and desert wilderness. In fact, the park takes parts of two deserts, namely the Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert. There are nine camp grounds that can be enjoyed by vacationing families and nightly fees are low, usually half the price of the lowest priced economy hotel room you can find. Hikers have their choice of following a mile long trail or something much larger, perhaps several trails across the entire park. Bird watching is certainly an involved activity, as the park offers 250 beautiful species scattered through the park.

If you are interested in sampling the best of Joshua Tree National Park then you should follow through with an official Joshua Tree National Park Tour. Instead of hiking it on foot, why not try the Joshua Tree National Park Extreme Adventure Jeep Tour? On this tour you can tour the two deserts and check out the unique geological formations of both, making both an educational and exciting vacation experience. The tour includes a guided tour along with snacks and bottled water available for visitors. The tour time lasts about four and a half hours and each jeep can take up to seven passengers. Guides are not only knowledgeable but also ready to help in whatever way necessary, from CPR to First-Aid trained. Unlike many other wildlife tours, photography in the park is welcomed. You can start taking some amazing pictures that will last you a lifetime. The park recommends that visitors wear comfortable and layered clothing, along with closed toe shoes, and prevention against heat and sunburning. The Joshua Tree National Park Extreme Adventure Jeep Tour has proven to be a major success with tourists and the tour has won multiple awards for Best Tourist Attraction, Best Front Line Staff, Hospitality Business of the Year, Top 10 Business Awards and an honorary Business of Distinction Award.

If you want to experience a new type of vacation, one that gets you and your family in touch with nature and gives you plenty of wondrous sights and sounds to meditate on, then come to the Joshua Tree National Park!
