Visite en jeep de la faille de San Andreas au départ de Palm Desert

Aperçu
Only Red Jeep Tours can take you to Metate Ranch, located in the heart of the San Andreas Fault Zone.

On this awe-inspiring OPEN-AIR Jeep Tour, you will travel deep into the heart of California’s world-famous San Andreas Fault and witness the forces of nature that have created amazing, steep-walled canyons and the most twisted and tormented landscapes on Earth!

You will be awestruck by the spectacular scenery as your Jeep winds its way through the bones of the earth. During your adventure, you will stop several times for short nature walks, including a short hike through a slot canyon, if desired.

This tour also stops at a natural palm oasis, where water bubbles up from the ground year-round. Here you will learn about how the Cahuilla Indians used desert plants to survive in this inhospitable environment.

A final highlight is a guided tour of our recreated Cahuilla Indian Village that showcases the lifestyle and culture of the Cahuilla people.

On a long weekend Trip to Palm Springs we decided to try the Red Jeep Tours. Our trip was a cross of and Geological Class with a celebrity professor. Make sure to ask for Rick or “Rickapedia” as he will be known from now on. Rick had deep knowledge of the science and history of the area. We left not just with knowledge on the desert area but all about Palm Springs as well. Rick was funny, knowledgeable, professional and made sure to keep us safe. I don’t want to give any spoilers but you may recognize Rick from some of his previous work. We highly recommend this tour.

A jaunty and bouncy tour, which pleased everyone in our group, from teens to grandparents. Morgan is a walking encyclopedia of information and very entertaining! We could not have asked for a better family outing.

This was a very interesting and informative tour through rough rocky terrain and canyons. Our guide Jake was wonderful-very knowledgeable and told us great stories and facts about the area. Watch out for the jumping cholla cactus!!!! We saw a beautiful oasis and then climbed through slot canyons to see the effect of the San Andreas fault. I was surprised to find out that there was not actually a visible “fault” or crack in the earth but we could see the effect of the fault movement on the rocky formations. All in all a great experience and a chance to see things you normally would not have the chance to see
