"I wanted to thank  you for the fabulous experience today exploring the magnificant area.. with my daughter Sarah, her boyfriend Nathan, and our new buds Matt and Alex.  It was beyond my expectations, its was educational, fun, safe...having you be our guide with your vast knowledge of the geology, plant life, animal life AND knowing you were a paramedic and firefighter...well, I fell completely at ease and completely enthralled the entire time."

"Wayne and I wanted to thank you again for our fantastic tours of Joshua Tree National Park. You were so kind to give us our own SUV and driver because we booked two tours back-to-back. Gary was so knowledgeable and took us exactly where we wanted to go, as well as special places he knew of in and around the park. We never would have seen the gravesites of Johnny Lang and Worth Bagley if we had not booked our tours with you. Due to a dead battery the day before our tours with Big Wheel Tours, we missed seeing some sites, but Gary was able to work them in to our full day with him. The sandwiches and snacks were delicious and we had a most enjoyable day. By the end of our tours, we had made a new friend and I felt like I had known Gary my entire life. Your company is so well-run and your communication with clients is just superb. You, Gary and Big Wheel Tours let us see Joshua Tree National Park like few people ever get to see. Thank you again for such wonderful service. "

"Thank you so much for the sunset tour!  It was the perfect way to celebrate our 20th anniversary.  Bruce and Evan became like extended family as we toasted 20 years together with our children on a desert mountain top beneath the stars."

The Painted Fault Jeep Tour - Come see where earthquakes are born!  You will see first hand what geologists have called " the most tortured landscape on earth" as you visit the backcountry trails of a Burea of Land Management Wilderness zone.  Clients will also get an up close look at the Coachella Valley's $500 million agriculture industry on the drive to and from the backcountry.  Sheer canyon walls, fascinating geology, and abundant native desert plant and animal life are highlights of this tour.   This is the most colorful portion of the San Andreas Fault in all of California.   The spectrum of layers and colors will dazzle you.
