Overview

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.

We had never been to the desert and didn’t really know what to expect - but after a few hours of the jeep tour and the incredible knowledge our guide Mike has, the desert jeep tour became one of the highlights of our trip. Everything from the geological history of the desert, the wild life, plants and survival knowledge.

The jeep tour was really fun. Loved the up close view of the canyons. Our tour guide Rick shared lots of tidbits about the Coachella Valley, the San Andreas fault, and life in the desert. Even our teens enjoyed the trek!
