Do you want to get around the desert in style? Well that's what the Palm Desert does best...is offer style. Take a jeep eco-tour. This Palm Desert outdoor adventure includes an award-winning jeep eco-tour of the San Andreas Fault or Joshua Tree National Park (you pick it.) Travel under the guidance of the best tour group, the award-winning Desert Adventures. Original, experienced, respected and ready are some of the hyperboles describing this adventure company in the Palm Springs area. They specialize in desert rides and have done so for over 10 years.Jeep eco-tours are the way to go, leaving the soft imprint that respect the desert ecosystem while you have fun, yet learn about this sensitive era and unique habitat for a number of desert creatures. This activity in the desert requires little effort on your part, so you don't have to sweat and bake or work yourself to the point of not having fun. It's a ride that takes you through Native American culture, mining lore and offers some stunning panoramic vistas in those hills that line Palm Springs.

Desert Adventures jeep tours on a 1,000 acre private preserve located right on the San Andreas Fault include four options for excitement and entertainment. A palm oasis and recreated Cahuilla Indian Village where you can participate in an active archeological dig is one option. Doesn't ring your bell? There are other choices. On all four tours, vacationers journey through the slot and box canyons where they see the handiwork of nature at the largest fault in North America, San Andreas. Back-country roads of the Joshua Tree National Park begin at sea level and traverse canyons, climbing 4,200 feet high into the Mojave Desert, bridging both the Mojave and Colorado Deserts and the transition zone between two ecosystems.
