This awe-inspiring journey in our classic Big Red Jeep Scramblers (CJ-8's) takes you deep into the heart of the San Andreas Fault. On your adventure you will:
- Learn about geology and earthquakes as you travel into the center of the San Andreas Fault system where you will see the twisted and tormented landscape created by the collision of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.
- Explore a pristine natural palm oasis with crystal clear water seeping up from the underground aquifer. Learn how this water makes our desert unique as you enjoy a naturalist guided nature walk through the oasis.
- Discover how the Cahuilla Indians used the desert’s plants and other materials for survival as you tour our Cahuilla Indian Village exhibit where artifacts, tools, weapons, and interpretive displays showcase the culture and lifestyle of the Cahuilla People.
- Step back in time and learn what life was like in the California desert for early settlers, prospectors, and gold miners.
- Experience the incredible colors and shadows that bathe the Indio Hills at sunset or book our special summer Nightwatch Stargazing Tour (offered May — September) which departs about 1.5 hours before sunset and ends after dark with stargazing under the clear desert skies.
- Spectacular scenery, stunning landscapes, and great photo opportunities abound on this exciting 4x4 adventure!
