“Awesome hike in San Jacinto State Park!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 28, 2013 via mobile

Scott Scott is a great guide. His was one of the best hikes we have ever been on. He is knowledgeable, fun, and a good conversationalist. We would definitely recommend a hiking tour with Scott.

Hi Susan (s)! Thanks for the kind words, what a great morning in the cool, mountain air of the forest. We're so fortunate to have the Palm Springs Aerial tram to escape to during the hotter months. I enjoyed getting to know both of you and showing you one of my favorite hikes in the San Jacinto state park. Hope... More

“Always Outstanding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 28, 2013

Whenever we are in Palm Springs we always connect with Scott to set up a hike. On our most recent trip I took my daughter for the first time and she was mesmerized by the beauty of the hike, add this to Scott's knowledge of the area and you have a trip to remember. Scott is not only a great... More

Hi Rod, It's always a pleasure to spend some "trail-time" with you. What a great way to spend quality time with your daughter, it was fun getting wet in the pools to cool off too! And, having a healthy organic meal at our favorite spot is a great added bonus. Look forward to the next time, all the best to... More

“Desert exploration”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

Excellent hike through Murray Canyon and the 7 Sisters. Our guide Scott was pleasant and supportive as well as a fund of information about the desert plants and animals. My wife and I enjoyed our trip and were pleased to receive a slide show of the hike on our return home.

“Would you do it again?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

A great gauge as to whether a tour or other activity is worthwhile is asking yourself afterwards whether you would go again. We went boulder scrambling in Indian Canyon with Scott in March, 2012 and we were back again to do two different hikes with him this March. This time we hiked the Whitewater Canyon Preserve and Joshua Tree. Both... More

Thanks, It was a pleasure to spend some more great times on the trail with you two. I appreciate you coming back for more! Glad we were able to experience a couple other beautiful wilderness locations around Palm Springs, even it it was a bit cool & breezy, (but your from Canada, so not big deal, right!). Be well, Scott More

“A great experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

My husband and I hiked with Scott last weekend at Indian Canyon. He led us off-trail to do some "rock-scrambling". Just the right combo of some challenging moments without ever being in a situation that was beyond our abilities. The views were breathtaking. Scott is quite knowledgeable about the area and his enthusiasm is contagious. We will absolutely be hiking... More

“Most amazing experience - an absolute must!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

My husband and I had a week in Palm Springs last June and by far the highlight of our trip was finding Scott and hiking with him. We took a moonlight hike and a hike bouldering in Indian Canyon. We couldn't have done it without Scott. He was so knowledgable and we learnt so much about the landscape, nature and... More

Hi my Scotland friends, You 2 we a pleasure taking on a couple great hikes. Thanks for your thoughtful review. Braving the desert in the summer, especially for those coming from an area that receives little sun, was an adventure for sure. You 2 were troopers, at least we found a couple pools to scramble into & cool off. The... More

This was my 3rd hike with Scott - and each one has been unique. This time I took my family ranging in age from 15 to 68. The trail was just right and Scott's knowledge was great - fun, interesting. Kept everyone engaged. By the time, we came to the end, I had 7 happy people all wanting to hike... More

Thanks Joan, your comments are great appreciated. It's always been a pleasure taking you & friends out on great hikes, and this time, getting to meet some of your family.

“Hike to the Top”

Sometimes it is better to be lucky than smart! We arrived at 5:00 AM at the museum parking lot to begin the hike to the top of San Jacinto. We just happened to meet up with Scott as he was waiting for clients to arrive. We did not know at this time that he was a guide. He offered to... More

“Tour of Joshua Tree with Scott was the highlight of my vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

I went to Palm Springs for some rest, sun, and relaxation but have always wanted to check out Joshua Tree...and am so glad I did! It is a spectacular park (unlike anything I've ever seen before) and completely quiet. Its about a 45 min drive, so its really easy to get to. The park is practically untouched...which only adds to... More
