RIDE THE BIG RED JEEPS 

Experience the Real DesertDesert Adventures invite you to hop on our Big Red Jeep and explore the California Desert.  Steep canyons dwarf you as we wind through the torturous terrain created by the awesome power of the San Andreas Fault.  Geology and jollity… mix as you tread lightly and safely on the rugged desert trail.  Group tours… or one on one… It’s 4X4… fun for all. 

Along the way, we pass through some of the richest agricultural areas in the world. You'll learn how our rich soil traveled hundreds of miles to get here, allows us to grow some rather unique crops, including grapes that never make wine, and dates from around the world, the best white grapefruit in America and the sweetest corn on the planet.

Quickly, we'll cross the All American Canal and turn off-road and enter the strange and eerie world of the "SAN ANDREAS FAULT". Your jeep will be dwarfed, as we wind through an intricate maze of steep walled canyons and ravines, testifying vividly to the power of the SAN ANDREAS FAULT and the geological evolution of millions of years. This is the Real Desert!

CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE OR ENJOY THEM ALL!

INDIAN CULTURAL ADVENTURE

The INDIAN CULTURAL ADVENTURE visits an authentic archeological site right on the San Andreas Fault.  Tour a replica of a Cahuilla Indian village & learn how these Native Americans thrived in this region for over 2,000 years, living in a close relationship with the land & deriving all their needs from what Mother Nature had to offer.  Marvel at the contrast of  a lush natural palm oasis & narrow dry-wash canyons carved by wind & water. *  FULL CATERING AVAILABLE

LOST LEGENDS OF THE WILD WEST ADVENTURE

The LOST LEGENDS OF THE WILD WEST ADVENTURE explores "Faultline, Californy," a replica of the Wild West mining camps that sprang up in the late 1800s.  Learn about mining techniques in a walk-through replica of an old mine. Enjoy the colorful local history and legends of a rowdy by-gone era when settlers came here in search of freedom and fortune.   FULL CATERING AVAILABLE


MYSTERY CANYON ADVENTURE

Visit the awe inspiring Mystery Canyons, described by geologists as the most tortured landscape on Earth.  Thrust up by tectonic collisions and cut into endless mazes by water, these steep walled canyons and ravines document the passage of time with unerring accuracy.

--Includes hiking geared to your group’s ability, from a casual nature walk to the infamous “hike of death!”

 SUNRISE & NIGHTWATCH ADVENTURES

OPEN ALL SUMMER!

If you haven’t experienced a desert sunrise or basked in the wonder of its brilliant star and moonlit nights, don’t despair. Desert Adventures, the 16-year old red jeep eco-tour and special events company, will operate two incredible and “cool tours” at great savings, from June 1 – September 30.

 

The EARLY MORNING SAN ANDREAS FAULT ADVENTURE takes visitors on a first hand look at the San Andreas Fault – which runs right through the Palm Springs Desert Resorts – as well as the flora, fauna and natural wonders of the Colorado-Sonoran desert. Steep canyons, torturous terrain and geology combine for a perfect desert adventure. Tours depart about 7 a.m., when the summer desert air is fresh and cool.

 

For night owls, the COOL NIGHT WATCH ADVENTURE provides guests the best of both worlds, beginning with an exploration of the desert at dusk turning to a nocturnal voyage among surreal shadows and darkness on a cooling desert landscape. As the twilight deepens, the sparkling stars and peaceful solitude provide a unique magic found only in the desert, with crystal clear skies providing a view of the stars that many of us remember only from childhood.  The stars are so brilliant, it's as if an interplanetary jewel thief fell in his escape and littered the sky with diamonds.  The moon is so close you can stir its craters with your fingertips.  Find Polaris (North Star) in the tail of Ursa Minor (Little Bear), also known as the Little Dipper. Guides bring halogen lamps to light up the canyon walls and the occasional desert animal. Tours depart between 6 and 7 p.m. depending on sunset.   FULL CATERING AVAILABLE

JEEP ENHANCEMENT IDEAS

JEEP RIDDLE RALLY- SCAVENGER HUNT ADVENTURE

This is NO regular jeep adventure! This is a super-adventure, adding an element of competition and challenge to make this a great teambuilding event without a lot of physical activity!  From the moment guests board their jeeps, they will be challenged with questions about the desert and their company.  Each jeep team must work together to solve the questions and take the most creative photos to win this game!  At the end of the rally their will be an awards ceremony, where the winning team will be given and certificate and bottle of champagne.   (Note: Desert Adventures offers logo shirts and caps and other gift ware as prizes).

“These tasty plants, a Bighorn’s treat,

Is the favorite snack of the desert sheep”?

 

Trivia questions can also be included that are personalized for your group, or we can add our own desert trivia.  Each team will be given a Polaroid camera, and will work together using their creative energies to create unique photos like:         

     

“Take a team picture with your company logo made out of desert materials”

“Take a picture of a desert animal in the wild”.

 

JEEP SCAVENGER HUNT ADVENTURE

Keep your eyes peeled for the desert critters and old mining and Indian tools hidden in the cracks and crevices as you explore the desert.
