Amazing views and geological features - Beautiful ride with amazing geological features! We took a paved road for 20 miles along the San Andreas fault. A large portion was through a canyon and the views were incredible the whole ride. The ride was entirely flat or downhill but winds can make the tour a workout still! The guide was really knowledgeable about the geology and ecology of the ride. It was a great addition to our trip to Joshua Tree!

Fun on the Fault! - We had a great time on this bike ride! Beautiful scenery, fun riding, great morning to be out. Jeff was a fun guide - sense of humor and good information. We thought we might learn a little more about the topography and history, but it was enough to go on. He seemed a little distracted at times, particularly when one of us asked him a specific question that perhaps wasn't part of the 'script'. But we loved the ride and would definitely recommend it.

Scenic Bicycle Ride (easy!) - Did the 20 mile downhill bicycle adventure this past Sunday - ended up being just my wife and I. It was a beautiful day and we had an excellent time. Our guide (Ron) was terrific - extremely knowledgeable in both the geology and history of what we were seeing. The scenery was spectacular and so different as the ride progressed. The first 17 miles were downhill and the last 3 were flat (agriculture). Highly recommend!

A unique fun experience 😊 - Second time out with Ben ! Very knowledgeable, kind and responsible. The cycling is easy, about half easy peddling and half coasting on a quiet wide paved road with interesting desert landscape. No white knuckles
A unique experience!! Thank you Ben

Awesome scenic bike ride - The views were amazing. Our guide Lupe was sweet and fun and kept us informed of what to lookout for. We hadn’t rode a bike in years but it was an easy and fun ride. This excursion was one of the highlights of our trip in Palm Springs.

Great Day For A Bike Riide - We had a lovely outing and bike ride with Lupe. Lupe was new, however she knew so much about the mountain ranges, the San Andreas fault line, and foliage.
The bike ride is a must if you want to get out and see the desert, mountains and enjoy a ride through canyons, lemon groves, pepper farms, etc.

Nice easy bike ride - Well organized and planned bike tour. Our guide was waiting when we arrived and shared the areas history as we rode in the van. The bike ride is not narrated which is different than other tours I’ve taken. I think having someone ride along with us or even a headset telling us what we were looking at would have made the ride even better.
The ride is mostly downhill with a little pedaling required the last few miles. There is no shade so sunscreen is a must.
