Private Guided Off Road Tours

There’s no better place to witness a breathtaking sunset or gaze into a sky filled with millions of stars than the California Mojave Desert. What many people only dream of, we bring to life at Happy Trails Rental on our private desert ranch—complete with lakes, desert trees, and untouched wide-open beauty.

Your experience begins late in the afternoon as you climb into a premium Polaris Xpedition NorthStar—fully enclosed with a glass windshield, electric windows, air conditioning, and heat for year-round comfort. Guided by your private tour leader, you’ll travel across remote desert terrain to a secluded high-desert viewpoint just in time to watch the sun melt into the vast horizon. Here, stress quiets, the world slows down, and nature takes center stage.

As twilight settles, you’ll continue your journey to a hidden desert lake where a warm, crackling campfire and reclining chairs await. Under the dark, unpolluted sky, you’ll relax in complete stillness as the universe unveils itself. With high-power binoculars and star-pointing lasers, you’ll explore constellations, planets, satellites, and the incredible Milky Way stretching overhead. For many, seeing the desert night sky this clearly is life-changing—calming, inspiring, and freeing all at once.

Perfect for romantic couples, families, or intimate groups seeking something rare, immersive, and unforgettable.

Welcome to Rattlesnake Canyon — one of the desert’s most rugged and rewarding OHV adventures near Joshua Tree, CA. This thrilling out-and-back route takes you through sandy washes, rock gardens, mud tracks, and tight canyon slots carved through towering stone walls. As the terrain shifts, so does the scenery — until you find yourself inside a massive, ancient Joshua tree forest where giants over 40 feet tall have stood watch for centuries.

Keep your eyes open… wildlife is common, cattle roam freely, and remnants of the mining boom still stand — abandoned cabins, weathered structures, and natural freshwater springs that defy the harsh desert climate. This trail feels like stepping back in time.
