Pamela_R, May 2025
Great to get some background information as you tour through the park! We used an Action Guide in Joshua Tree Park and we’re excited to do another
Response from Host, May 2025
Pamela, it’s wonderful to hear you loved your experience at White Sands and that the background stories added to your visit. So glad you enjoyed our Joshua Tree tour too — that’s exactly why we create these guides, to help travelers like you explore with insight and ease. If you're planning your next adventure, you might enjoy our Ultimate New Mexico Tour Bundle, which also features Santa Fe and Carlsbad Caverns!

Did not flow naturally after getting off trail and returning to the path. Will try it again at Mess Verde National Park.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Torre, I’m glad you’re planning to give my Mesa Verde tour a try! For White Sands, following the app’s directions carefully is essential for the best experience. The tours are designed to start at specific points, and keeping to the speed limit helps ensure everything flows smoothly. I hope your next adventure is even better!
