  I had an amazing experience with Mojave Guide Emery in Joshua Tree! We did two top-rope climbs, and he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable about the area, and, most importantly, made me feel completely safe—like, zero chance of dying, which is always a plus. As a first-time outdoor climber, I really appreciated how patient Emery was. He explained the techniques clearly, answered all my questions, and helped me work through the routes in a way that made me feel comfortable. The climbs were the perfect level of difficulty—challenging and just outside my comfort zone, but never in a way that felt unsafe. Beyond climbing, Emery made the whole experience fun and engaging. We explored some caves by scrambling under rocks, which was an unexpected highlight. He also pointed out cool rock formations, plants, and shared fun facts about the area, which added so much to the adventure. Overall, Emery is a fantastic guide and great company. Whether you're a beginner or experienced climber, I’d 10/10 recommend!

  As true beginners we were pretty excited. Our guide Taylor was patient and very relaxed- which in turn made us relaxed. Couldn’t recommend Taylor more- he was skilled, friendly and surprisingly funny.

  This was a fabulous experience from planning through the end when our fabulous guide Nolan took the time to text us lunch restaurant suggestions. We enjoyed an amazing 1/2 day experience with rock climbing and hiking/scrambling with myself, husband and 10 year old. Our guide Nolan was thoughtful, kind, funny and great with all of our skill levels. We were pushed to have fun and experience new things while we felt safe and taken care of. I would not hesitate to book with them again. In fact when we do come back to this area to visit we will book again. My very “stoic” son said multiple times out loud “ I love everything about this place”. Well done!

  We had such a great time with our guide Taylor!!! My husband (45), my daughter (13), my son (10), and I (44) have never done any rock climbing. Taylor was so friendly, fun, and taught us all about knot-tying, climbing technique, and safety. He also told us funny and interesting anecdotes and history about the Park. Taylor set up two routes for us that were different and challenging - slab climbing and crack climbing. He was so patient helping us climb and we were all able to get to the top of the slab! I was so impressed with how he worked with our kids, who each had moments of uncertainty about the climb. Taylor even went up with our son to help him find the holds so that he could successfully get up to the ledge. I could go on and on about how wonderful, exciting, and fun our experience was with Taylor and Mojave Guides!!! Taylor went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time! Thank you Taylor! Cheers!

  My daughter and myself had a fantastic time with Andrew. I would recommend him to anyone from very beginner to more advanced level. He made sure we get all support and encouragement we need to conquer the walls. He made us feel safe, well-protected, and challenged within our abilities. Andrew is just a great human being and was fun to have on this 4 hr. climbing adventure.

• Magnificent Murph and the Mojave Guides

  This was by far the highlight of my trip to Joshua Tree. I am not an experienced climber - as in, I have repelled like twice as a youngster, and have done indoor climbing only a handful of times - and this was perfect. I shared that I am pretty athletic and Murph picked out the perfect places to show me the ropes (pun intended. Also said ropes and all other safety equipment is adequately provided.) The first climb at The Chief was challenging, but doable, and Murph was encouraging and a great coach. I learned so much! And then - The Casm of Doom Scramble. If you want to feel like you’re in an Indiana Jones movie, make sure you do this run IT. WAS. AWESOME. Murph was such a fun guide; we started as acquaintances and left as friends, hugs and all when the time was through. Don’t look anywhere else for climbing guides in JT - you found everything you need right here with Mojave Guides.

  Amazing experience. Authentic way to experience Joshua Tree. Murphy, our guide, was fun to be with, knowledgeable, chill and listened to our wishes and brought an experience that met our goals and wishes. He had our 14 and 11 year old sons totally engaged and he took time to educate them and give pro-tips vs. just doing everything for them. The climbs were challenging but safe and each of us felt successful and proud. Highly recommend. Felt personalized, not scripted.

  We had an amazing half day climbing with Jay. He was communicative leading up to our trip, told us exactly where we could meet him and was there waiting for us when we arrived. We are both newer to climbing (right around 40yo and very active), and he found the perfect climbs for us to warm up, and be challenged. The best part for me was that Jay knew exactly when to push us a little harder and not let us give up when we couldn’t see the next steps. I would absolutely recommend climbing with Mojave Guides, and Jay.

  My wife and I are so glad we did this! We’re both in our mid-60s and in good shape. We had a blast. Our guide Mason was outstanding - knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. He well explained everything and allowed us to proceed at our own pace. We enjoyed every minute of the experience. It was well worth the cost. We heartily recommend it!
