AWARD-WINNING JEEP TOURS
Desert Adventures offers a variety of award-winning jeep eco-tours that your whole family will love!

FAULTLINE EXPRESS: Journey through spectacular box and slot canyons, visit an ancient fossil bed and (dry) waterfall, learn about the plants and animals that have uniquely adapted to survive in our hostile desert environment and witness for yourself how earthquakes and how tectonic forces have created the slanted, vertical and wave-like structures that have been described as the most tortured landscape on earth. Tour includes admission to the EPICENTER Earthquake Education Center and a guided nature walk or short hike. More information

PIONEER ADVENTURE: From ice age to gold rush - from stagecoach to railroad - learn how and why early pioneers migrated to the hottest, driest desert in North America. Visit an old mining camp, tour a gold mine, and explore a homestead and cowboy camp on this fascinating journey through the Wild West. Tour includes gold panning and a guided nature walk or short hike. More information

INDIAN CULTURAL ADVENTURE: The Indian Cultural Adventure offers a fascinating look into the lives of the Cahuilla Indians. Learn about the customs, ceremonies, and culture of these hunter/gatherers and how and why they chose to live on the San Andreas Fault. Tour includes participation in the Palteewet Archeological Dig, tour of a natural Palm Oasis and Indian Village, and a guided nature walk or short hike. More information

TWILIGHT ADVENTURE: The Twilight Adventure provides guests with a nocturnal voyage among surreal shadows and darkness on a cooling desert landscape. Your journey begins before dark as you explore steep-walled canyons along the San Andreas Fault. As the sun begins to set, witness the spectacular transition from day to night as light casts amazing shadows on the mountains, creating a depth and range of colors unseen during the day. As darkness overtakes you, the clear desert sky comes alive with stars twinkling in the heavens above. Tour includes admission to the EPICENTER Earthquake Education Center and a guided nature walk or short hike. More information
