Our guide, Ben, was very knowledgeable of the geography & geology of the area as related to the San Andreas Fault and related faults. He took us into Backcountry of the BLM Wilderness East of Palm Desert. We took a loop trail in the Jeep and then went to Painted Canyon to see the effects the San Andreas fault on the landscape. The scenery was spectacular and something we never would have experienced on our own. Well worth the cost. Thanks.
