For a bigger adventure, Joshua Tree National Park sits roughly 60 to 70 miles southeast via SR-247, with bus parking at the Oasis Visitor Center (74485 National Park Dr, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277) and a park entrance fee that varies by group size and vehicle type — non-commercial groups of 16 or more pay $15 per person (children 15 and under free), while commercial tour buses of 26 or more pay $150 per vehicle.

A Charter Bus Makes Calico Ghost Town and the San Bernardino County Museum Easy
A full-size 56-passenger charter bus is the smart call when your whole grade level is heading out together! Calico Ghost Town (36600 Ghost Town Rd, Yermo, CA 92398) sits about 40 miles northeast of Apple Valley via I-15 N, with a designated RV and bus parking lot at the main entrance and living history programs built for school groups — a perfect fit for history and social studies classes. The San Bernardino County Museum is about 45 miles southwest and offers paleontology, natural history, and Native American history exhibits with dedicated school programs.
Bus drop-off is on Orange Tree Lane with large-vehicle parking available in the museum lot. Compare charter bus options and pricing from a network of independent operators serving Apple Valley through Applevalleycharterbuscompany.com!
For the Best Fit on Mountain and Desert Roads, Compare Minibuses Too
For the best field trip experience on winding High Desert mountain routes, a minibus is often the smarter choice. The road to Big Bear Lake and the Big Bear Discovery Center (40971 North Shore Dr, Fawnskin, CA 92333) climbs steep, winding grades on SR-18 above Running Springs where full-size 56-passenger coaches can be difficult to maneuver — a 15- to 35-passenger minibus handles those switchbacks with ease. The same logic applies to interior roads at Joshua Tree National Park, where smaller vehicles have more flexibility navigating the park.
Through Applevalleycharterbuscompany.com, you can compare 15-, 20-, 25-, and 35-passenger minibuses from a network of independent operators serving Apple Valley, so you find the right fit for your route and your headcount. Fill out one form and compare options in seconds!

For the main park roads and visitor centers, full-size 56-passenger charter buses work fine and are the most economical choice for large groups. For interior park roads and tighter trailhead lots, a 25- to 35-passenger minibus gives you more flexibility. The current entrance fee at Joshua Tree is $15 per person for non-commercial groups of 16 or more passengers (children 15 and under free) and up to $150 per vehicle for larger authorized commercial tour buses — confirm current rates before your visit, as this cost is separate from your bus rental quote.
Calico Ghost Town has a designated RV and bus parking lot at the main entrance, making it one of the more straightforward stops for Apple Valley school groups heading northeast on I-15. A per-vehicle fee applies at entry. Contact Calico directly at (760) 254-2122 to confirm current group rates and parking availability before your visit, as pricing can vary by season.
Spring — March through May — is peak field trip season for Apple Valley Unified School District and all High Desert schools, and bus availability tightens significantly during that window. Joshua Tree spring wildflower season (late February through April) is especially popular. Book three to six months in advance for spring trips.
Summer heat in the Mojave regularly reaches 105–115°F, so most Apple Valley schools schedule outdoor field trips in spring and fall instead.
The route to Big Bear climbs steep, winding grades on SR-18 above Running Springs where full-size 56-passenger coaches can be difficult to maneuver. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the strongly recommended choice for trips to the Big Bear Discovery Center. Winter travel on SR-18 may also require tire chains — check Caltrans QuickMap for current chain control requirements before your trip date.
