RIDE THE BIG RED JEEPS
“EXPERIENCE THE REAL DESERT” - Desert Adventures invite you to hop on our Big Red Jeeps to 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. You will see twisted and tormented landscape, warped and bent by the powerful movement of the Earth’s crust. You will see anticlines, synclines and entire mountains heaved upward. Hills of “fault gauge” [ground up rock] clearly mark the path of destruction along the fissure; and yet it is the San Andreas Fault that gives life to the barren desert by trapping underground water unable to reach the aquifer below. This made it possible for ancient people to settle in the hottest/driest desert in North America some 3,000 years ago. Geology and jollity… mix as you tread lightly and safely on the rugged desert trail. This is the Real Desert and Its 4X4 fun for all. CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE OR ENJOY THEM ALL!
The SAN ANDREAS FAULT ADVENTURE explores a “desert badlands” landscape in the strange and eerie world of the “SAN ANDREAS FAULT”. You’ll explore the San Andreas Fault’s unique geologic features, called the most tortured landscape on Earth, testifying vividly to the power of the San Andreas Fault and the geological evolution of millions of years.
The INDIAN CULTURAL ADVENTURE visits a natural palm oasis and 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.
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. Hike a slot canyon and visit an ancient fossil bed.
The MYSTERY CANYON II ADVENTURE visits the awe-inspiring Mystery Canyon. Thrust up by tectonic collisions and cut into endless mazes by erosion, these steep-walled canyons offer spectacular scenery. This tour includes hiking geared to ability, from a casual nature walk to the infamous “hike of death!”
The NIGHT WATCH ADVENTURE is available all year and provides guests with a nocturnal voyage among surreal shadows and darkness on a cooling desert landscape. Guides bring black lights to look for scorpions and talk about the mythology related to the heavens. 3-hour tour (6-9pm)
OPEN ALL YEAR!

DRESS FOR ADVENTURE!
All of our adventures feature up-close exploration of the desert. Group members should wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes and casual clothes. Remind your group members to bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen to ward off the intense desert sun. Open jeeps can be quite cool on the road, so warm sweaters or jackets are advised.
