4×4 The San Andreas Fault

October 31, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Exploring the desert is fascinating.  I had the opportunity to go on a jeep tour with Desert Adventures  — that was really cool. The 4-hour excursion was to the famous San Andreas Fault — the official tour name is the Faultline Adventure – and I am use to earthquakes since I have lived in California my entire life.   On our journey – we went to the faultline, learned about earthquakes, native plants, the history and saw beautiful oasis & carved rock canyons. The San Andreas Fault is only about 45 minute drive from downtown Palm Springs – it is definitely a “must-see attraction!” 

Other Palm Springs tours include mid-century architecture tours, celebrity, Indian Canyons, Joshua Tree and more.
