Only Red Jeep Tours can take you to Metate Ranch, located in the heart of the San Andreas Fault Zone.

On this awe-inspiring OPEN-AIR Jeep Tour, you will travel deep into the heart of California’s world-famous San Andreas Fault and witness the forces of nature that have created amazing, steep-walled canyons and the most twisted and tormented landscapes on Earth!

You will be awestruck by the spectacular scenery as your Jeep winds its way through the bones of the earth. During your adventure, you will stop several times for short nature walks, including a short hike through a slot canyon, if desired.

This tour also stops at a natural palm oasis, where water bubbles up from the ground year-round. Here you will learn about how the Cahuilla Indians used desert plants to survive in this inhospitable environment.

A final highlight is a guided tour of our recreated Cahuilla Indian Village that showcases the lifestyle and culture of the Cahuilla people.

Great adventure! Our guide was very informative. We learned a lot about the San Andreas fault line, the desert plants, animals, and how the Native Americans used these natural resources to survive and thrive. He tailored our experience to far exceed our expectations. Be prepared for a fun hike through a desert oasis, a Native American village, and a narrow canyon. Wear hiking boots.

We had a great tour of Palm Desert with the Desert Adventures Company. it was fun being in an open air Jeep and viewing all of the cool in that area.

The guide was very knowledgeable and made sure that everyone felt comfortable with the walking trails We had planned a three hour tour but it was more like 3 1/2 to 4, but worth it.
