Beschreibung
Explore the labyrinth of cuts and canyons of the San Andreas Fault Zone as your naturalist guide entertains you with stories about the plants, animals, geology, and history of the California desert.
Board your open-air Jeep and embark upon a scenic and informative exploration of the stunning landscape of an active earthquake zone where you will travel across private property only accessible by 4WD and only open for this specific tour. Choose between a private and a shared tour.
This exciting 4WD adventure to the private Metate Ranch reserve on the San Andreas fault line is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any visitor to the Coachella Valley.
Discover the unique geography of this tortured landscape as you explore the skeleton of the earth. Visit a natural oasis and uncover the mysteries of the hardy plants and animals carving out an existence in the dry barren landscape.
Learn about the culture and lifestyle of the Cahuilla Indians and how they used the desert’s plants for food, medicine, tools, weapons, shelter, and more.
You will have an opportunity to walk among the stone corridors and sheer granite walls of ancient canyons as you learn the fascinating history of the primal forces that shaped the valleys and surrounding landscape and the people that called this place home for millennia.

WICHTIGE INFORMATIONEN
• This tour requires a minimum of 2 guests per Jeep to operate. Each Jeep holds up to 7 guests. Book a second Jeep for 8-14 people.
• Guests get in and out of the Jeep several times on the tour to partake in short nature walks or hikes. Accommodations are availble for guests with limited mobility with advance notice.
• This tour is not recommended for guests seeking a rugged adventure. The Jeeps go slowly and while it can be bumpy at times, this is not a thrill ride.
• Guests who are pregnant (3rd trimester or high-risk) or who have neck or back issues or injuries should consult with their doctor before taking the tour or request to ride in the front passenger seat, which provides the smoothest ride.
• CHILD POLICY: No unaccompanied minors. The minimum recommended age for children on this tour is 5 years. The Jeeps cannot secure infant car seats but can accommodate a child booster seat (supplied by the guest and secured by a 2-point seat belt in the back of the Jeep).
