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.

Good value for money and our tour leader Morgan was a living encyclopaedia, she has so much knowledge and was quite helpful.

Even better than we anticipated

Four of us, ranging in age from mid 60s to early 80s, did the San Andreas Fault tour with Bill. As one of the early 80s individuals—though relatively fit—I was a little apprehensive that the tour might be too challenging. It could not have been more enjoyable, educational, and fun. Bill quickly and correctly assessed our abilities and tailored the tour to that. We had a great time, learned a lot and were impressed by Bill’s knowledge, warm personality, and genuine love and respect for the land and its culture. Hope to return to try another tour.
