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 an age limit for the Jeep tour? I want to take my kids!

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but it's recommended for kids ages 5 and up due to the terrain and the walking portions. The Jeep can get bumpy, so if you have younger kids, just be prepared for that. Overall, it's a fantastic family experience, and kids will love exploring the slot canyon and the palm oasis!

Q: What should we wear for the Jeep tour? Any specific recommendations?

A: Dress in layers since the desert can get chilly in the morning and warm up later. Sturdy shoes are a must for the short hikes, and don’t forget a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Also, bring a light jacket in case it gets breezy during the ride. Comfort is key!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather isn’t safe, Red Jeep Tours will let you reschedule for a different day. They usually check conditions ahead of time, so you'll be informed if there’s a cancellation. Just make sure to contact them as soon as you know to get your preferred date!

Just did the San Andreas Fault Jeep Tour, and it was AMAZING!

I went on the San Andreas Fault Jeep Tour last weekend, and I can't recommend it enough! The views were insane, especially when we stopped at the palm oasis. Our guide was really knowledgeable about the Cahuilla culture, which made it even cooler. We did a short hike through the slot canyon, and it was such a unique experience. If you’re thinking of getting this as a gift, go for it! Perfect for nature lovers or anyone who enjoys a bit of adventure.

Thinking of gifting the Jeep tour for my partner’s birthday. Thoughts?

I'm considering the San Andreas Fault Jeep Tour as a birthday gift for my partner. They love the outdoors and have mentioned wanting to explore that area. Just wondering if it's more of a scenic ride or if there's a lot of hiking involved because they’re not super fit. Any advice from those who've been?
