    Enjoy a rugged wilderness drive by Jeep or SUV, deep into the heart of the San Andreas Fault. Marvel at the narrow slot canyons, magnificent vistas and colorful layers of rock in the desert badlands. This is where earthquakes are born, and you will see first hand what geologists have called “The most tortured landscape on earth.” Drive down back country trails in a Bureau of Land Management Wilderness Zone. Get up-close to the Coachella Valley's USD 500 million agriculture industry. Then, marvel as the scenery changes to sheer canyon walls and abundant native desert plants and animal life.

    Really awesome! Ben drove us through the San Andreas fault area and it was stunning! Like to hike? That’s really great too! The “Ladders” are so fun! The Saltan Sea and it’s backstory fascinate me. It’s beautiful, and toxic. A great trip! Highly recommend!!
