Unforgettable Day with the Family

Heather_L, Apr 2026
Mason was awesome! He was very patient and knew exactly how to push us to challenge ourselves while offering the right kind of help when we needed it. We did rope climbing on the rocks followed by the cave and both were unforgettable experiences for my husband and I and our 7 year old daughter.

Thank you so much for the review! We had a blast climbing with you guys at Cap Rock and exploring The Chasm of Doom! Let us know next time you are visiting Joshua Tree National Park, we would live to climb with you again! -Jaden Wyszpolski

Incredible climbing/caving in Joshua Tree!

Tim_C, Jan 2026
We had an incredible experience climbing in Joshua Tree National Park. Our guide Mason was amazing; he was clearly very knowledgeable about the area, incredibly patient with our two young boys, and had a cool, calm demeanor that was very reassuring during some tougher parts of the climb as well as our adventure into the Chasm of Doom! It was such a great way to explore the park and we could not recommend this experience enough!

Great Family Rock Climbing Experience!

We had a great morning rock climbing! Ryan was a true professional, explaining everything from the plant life to the climbing culture with all of us. We felt extremely safe climbing at Jellystone with our daughters (6 and 9). They both responded differently to the challenge and Ryan was great with all of it. When our younger daughter felt fearful coming down, he was able to support her beautifully. When others in our group were ready for a bigger challenge, he was able to provide it. This was a fantastic way to take advantage of the chance to rock climb at Joshua Tree National Park with younger kids and everyone felt like it was a highlight of our trip. Strong recommend Stone Adventures for anyone visiting the park.

epic climbing for the family

absolutely incredible climbing experience pushing the entire family out of our comfort zone but in the safe hands of our encouraging guide. Jaden was a fantastic guide and did an amazing job with the kids!

Fantastic Experience for Novice and First Time Climbers - Tweens and Middle Agers

Julie_R, Feb 2023
We had a fantastic time climbing with Jaden in Joshua Tree! Three out of the four of us had never climbed before but Jaden was extremely patient and gentle with our nervous 7 year old as well as the middle-age parental figures! He also was super encouraging and challenged our 11 year old daughter who is a burgeoning climber. The whole time we all felt extremely safe. We loved hiking the trails at the park as well but climbing was a fantastic additional way to experience the rocks and cracks in Joshua tree.
