Discover the real secret of the Palm Springs Desert Resorts.  It has nothing to do with golf courses, resorts, spas, tennis or movie stars; yet, it makes all of these things possible.

It’s the infamous San Andreas Fault.

To many, the name conjures up fear of an impeding and catastrophic earthquake that will destroy lives and communities.  But, the nearby fault is actually in many respects, the region’s best friend and patron saint.  Without the fault and its ability to force water to the surface, the Coachella Valley would be another Death Valley. That means no golf courses, spas or luxury resorts.

While most people expect to see a jagged, ominous gorge that will swallow you up in a moment’s notice, the actual fault, on the surface, is a tranquil line of palm trees with water gurgling up in places. In fact, those familiar palm trees on the fault and throughout the valley aren’t even trees. They are really giant Jurassic blades of grass with a high concentration of water.

What’s that? I’ve learned something and it was actually fun.

While most visitors spend their time with manmade efforts, such as pools or golf, the chance to discover the natural beauty of the desert environment and its geothermal conditions is some of the best entertainment the valley has to offer -- even for the non-scientific oriented like most of us!.

That’s why Desert Adventures should be part of your desert experience. We offer fascinating adventures that enlightens and entertains, especially for those of us who haven’t roughed it since the Boy Scouts.
