Spend three days riding and exploring the unparalleled beauty of Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. Marvel at spectacular views of the Milky Way in one of the few Dark Sky Parks in the world from the comfort of your REI Classic Camp.
Known for its towering boulder piles and the twisty, spiky trees that speckle its landscape, Joshua Tree sits where the high Mojave Desert meets the lower Colorado Desert. In three days, this tour takes us along all the cyclable paved roads in the park.
After a brief rendezvous with our trip guides in Palm Springs, we begin our experience with sweeping desert views, diverse ecosystems, and the fascinating history surrounding us as we explore Joshua Tree National Park. We ride drop-bar or flat-bar road bikes, or you can bring your own—all fitted for your comfort. We make the most of our time together in the saddle with a well-oiled itinerary, and spend both nights camping in ultimate comfort under star-speckled skies. During the day, we tour through the park, enjoying stunning vistas of local flora, fauna and daring rock climbers.
Expect majestic views, heart-pumping ascents and time out of the saddle to immerse ourselves in the landscape. Take a stroll among the Joshua Trees and take in the beauty of this one-of-a-kind American treasure.
