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.

5.00We 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. Our tour guide was interesting and very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about geology of the region and the San Andreas Fault in particular. The hiking was easy and we took some great pics, building memories that we'll enjoy remembering.
A lot of interesting...

5.00We did the San Andreas Fault Jeep Tour with Pace on October 8 and it was wonderful! We saw some amazing scenery and were given a wealth of information by Pace. He explained why the plant life around the fault is different then other areas in the desert. The role of the Indians on this land and the positive impact they have made. He explained their traditions why they moved from one area to another and why it was necessary. Pace also gave us information on how floods have impacted the area. We got to walk through this area and see the slot canyons as well. Highly recommend this tour.
Yeah San Andreas
