Scott took my husband and me on a 5-mile hike to Palm and Andreas Canyons, the degree of difficulty of the hike was exactly what we wanted and requested. While we enjoyed the hike and had fun doing it, we also learnt quite a bit from Scott on the history of the canyons and how the Native Americans were living off the land making use of different types of plants, etc. We are already thinking about another trip back to go on another guided hike with Scott. We highly recommend going on hikes with Scott.
Hi Bonnie,
Thanks, much appreciated for taking time to leave this nice review. It was a pleasure to take the two of you to one of the most beautiful areas in the southwest. I always enjoy taking folks out that realize the benefits & fun of active vacations, while learning about a unique environment.
Look forward to exploring another great wilderness area on your return,
Happy trails, Scott
We did a half day hike in the San Jacinto State Park with Scott. Awesome day. It was me, my wife and our 12 year old son. Scott met us in the Tramway parking lot and took us through the whole aerial tramway process. The hike was great. My son loves to climb--and Scott took us from rock to rock. The mountain overlooks were spectacular. Scott was able to tell us about every location, the plants and all of the stories. This was a great day. And, it is 40 degrees cooler up in the mountains---nice break from the heat down in Palm Springs.
Hi Leigh Ann,
Thank you for taking the time to send this review. It was a pleasure taking the 3 of you into the San Jacinto state park forest.
I'm glad your son was able to use some of his amazing climbing & bouldering skills out there.
I hope the rest of your desert stay was good, hope to show you another magical area around Palm Springs, Ca.

Scott did an absolutely amazing job at showing us Joshua Tree National Park. We booked a 7-hour trip starting early in the morning. While we were a bit hesitant about the early morning, it allowed us to get a jump start on the morning and get into the park easily. Scott took us on two main hikes, and some short stops at some of the most breathtaking spots in the park! We could have never navigated around the 800K acre park and found more beautiful spots. Scott is so knowledgeable and friendly, and he is the best tour guide! Very enthusiastic. I highly recommend, and definitely try to do Joshua Tree if you can! We will definitely contact Scott on our next trip to the area. Thanks so much Scott!!!!
Hi Kim,
Thanks for taking the time to write this very nice review. It was a pleasure taking the 2 of you, (& the others), into southern California's Nat'l park. Working around the crowds during the holidays can be challenging. Hope you have another opportunity to show you other magical areas in & around the Coachella Valley. Regards, Scott
My son aged 17 and I, had a great time hiking in the Indian Canyons with our guide Scott. Everything was perfectly organised (water, hip packs, cereal bars...) and we even had a Rosy Boa to welcome us on our way ! Scott is very friendly and provided us with interesting information about the wildlife and the flora of the area. We go back to Paris, France with beautiful pictures and memories.
Hi Carole,
I really appreciate taking the time to post this review. It was great to take the two of you on our Indian Canyons tour. Finding the Rosy Boa (snake), right in the beginning, set the stage for a fun hike.
Great that your getting your son to experience some fun outdoor activities.
Hope to take you to another magical area if your ever able to return. Scott
Wow! What a day we had with Cutler! Educational informative and full of energy our hiking guide was amazing. Our adventure through Indian Canyon was awesome. Cutlers entire hike was fascinating since we are not familiar with this difficult terrain being from the home of the "flatlands" south Florida. His personality and ability to adapt to our limited skills was a once in a lifetime experience. We truly enjoyed the beauty, along with the challenges we endured! He made our day for sure!!
Hi Julie,
Thank you for this thoughtful review of Trail Discovery & Cutler, one of our best. It's always rewarding for us to hear that we've made a difference in our guests desert stay. Look forward to more fun exploration, if you visit Palm Springs again. Happy trails, Scott
Scott was an excellent tour guide because he allows tourists to immerse themselves within the environments he takes them to. I have been to the Indian Canyons once before with my family, but I wasn't aware of certain plants and animals living in the area. Scott was able to better educate me and my friends about the wildlife around us that I wasn't aware about the first time I went. He really lets you feel like you learned something new and that's what made our vacation not just a trip-- but an adventure.
Hi Michele,
Thank you for this great review, much appreciated & I'm happy you were able to get a lot more from your experience this time around in Indian Canyons. Happy New Year! Scott
