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 a memorable trip into the fault and the canyon walk was very educational. Our tour guide, Teresa, was fantastic!

A wonderful trip with Darryl! He was highly professional and very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to provide us with historical background and geologic information with charts, maps, and photos to describe each location in detail. Great driver also! Highly recommend this trip!

No cumplió con las expectativas! Es un recorrido muy básico, sin impacto ni que genere ningún tipo de atractividad!!
