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.

Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the Jeep tours? Asking for a friend who's a bit on the heavier side.

A: There isn't a strict weight limit, but the Jeep can comfortably accommodate up to 6-7 people, depending on their sizes. It's open-air, so everyone gets a great view! Just make sure to let the provider know if you have specific concerns, and they can help ensure everyone has a safe, enjoyable ride.

Q: Do they offer rescheduling if it rains? I really want to do this tour but I’m worried about the weather.

A: Yes, they absolutely allow rescheduling due to weather conditions! If the weather looks bad on the day of your tour, just give them a call and they’ll help you find a new date. It’s always good to check the forecast a few days in advance though!

Q: What's included in the tour? Are snacks provided?

A: You get bottled water and granola snacks included in the tour, which is perfect for a little energy boost while enjoying the scenery. Just make sure to bring your own lunch if you’re planning a longer day out, but the light snacks are definitely a nice touch!

Just did the San Andreas Fault Jeep Tour and WOW!

I recently took the San Andreas Fault Jeep Tour from Palm Desert and it was incredible! The views were stunning, especially driving through those slot canyons. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the geology and the history of the Cahuilla Indians. The stop at the palm oasis was a nice break, too! Totally worth it!

Thinking of gifting the Jeep Tour—any tips?

I’m considering giving this Jeep Tour as a gift for my parents. They love nature and adventure! Is it suitable for older folks? Any tips on what to wear or if it's hard to keep up during the tour?
