Stargazing & Trailblazing
Farside Tours creates guided night hikes and backcountry desert adventures for guests who want to experience the Mojave Desert in a unique, deeper, more personal way. Based in Twentynine Palms, near the North Entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, we specialize in taking groups out on cosmic stargazing tours, sunset rock scrambles and photo ops, backcountry trail hikes, beginner-intermediate level rock scrambles, cave hunting expeditions, and other immersive, deep-desert experiences beyond the typical sites and scenes most visitors encounter.
Every Farside Tour is tailored to each groups' skill level, expectations, timeframe, and interests. Whether you're looking for a peaceful family-friendly stroll through majestic rock formations, a romantic stargazing tour with stories of the Zodiac, a confidence-building night hike, or a level 3 rock scramble that puts you outside your comfort zone, tests your navigational skills, athletic ability, and stamina, leave you , we shape the route, pace, difficulty, and energy around you. Our hikes range from Level 1, easy enough for young children, to Level 5, designed for guests ready to face the dark, navigate rugged terrain, and push themselves physically and mentally.
Our mission…to offer reasonably priced stargazing experiences & guided backcountry hiking tours to fellow adventurers and explorers. We have a deep love for the desert and the celestial wonders above.
