After taking many Desert Studies courses at the University of San Bernadino and learning about the surrounding area and trails, Scott began Trail Discovery Outdoor Guide Service. It leads hikes and runs along trails in the Santa Rosa Mountains, the Indian Canyons, the San Bernardino National Forest and the Joshua Tree National Monument. Scott says his team is more like family than business associates. Recently Peter Walsh and Larry Montez, owners of Desert Safari, wanted someone they could trust, who would keep the positive aspect of the desert and surrounding wildlife, to take over their business. Fortunately, they approached Scott, who was thrilled at the idea and has since combined Trail Discovery and Desert Safari into one terrific guide service.
Tours can range in length from one hour to a full day.
Hikes are catered for all levels and abilities. All one needs is a durable pair of shoes and to bring a hat or visor and sunscreen. Transportation is provided to and from the hike area on most trips, and information on plant, animal, geography and history of Palm Springs is provided for your enjoyment. For the adventurous at heart, this should be a challenge you'll love to try. To top it all off, Scott and Trail Discovery will be on TV in the fall on the Travel Channel, so watch for this upcoming adventure.
