Description

Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park is a rock climber’s paradise. With more than 8,000 routes in the park, there’s something for everybody. The park is widely considered one of the premier rock climbing destinations in the US. We develope our 7-day itinerary around your objectives and goals. Lodging and meals can be specified according to your preferences. Apex Mountain School guides are committed to doing everything we can to ensure your visit to Joshua Tree exceeds your expectations.

Due to the fame of the park among climbers, many areas can become over crowded. You can trust our knowledgeable guides to take you to the finest locations in the park avoiding the crowds.

Landscape

The landscape of Joshua Tree is unique. This sun soaked paradise is nestled into the Mojave and Colorado deserts of Southern California. It is complete with fascinating wildlife, granite-studded hillsides, and elegant climbing lines of all types and difficulty levels.

If you’re looking carefully you can also find ancient rock art, including petroglyphs and pictographs. This Native American artwork has been etched and painted on the walls and patina thousands of years ago.
