This sunset and stargazing adventure begins when you board your “Big Red Jeep” and depart on an open-air Jeep ride into the desert.
Travel to a private, 800-acre preserve on the San Andreas Fault and visit a natural palm oasis. Explore the spectacular box and slot canyons and visit an ancient fossil bed as the Jeep winds through the labyrinth of geological cuts and canyons along the San Andreas Fault Zone. Learn about the desert’s plants, animals, history, geology and earthquakes and find out why the Cahuilla people lived on the San Andreas Fault.
As the sun sets, experience the almost deafening silence and beauty of the desert at twilight — away from all the lights and noise of the city. Witness the spectacular transition from day to night as the light casts brilliant shadows and colors on the hills. This is also an ideal time to see wildlife as this is when many desert animals become most active. When the sky darkens, enjoy a guided journey through the night sky as you view planets, stars, and constellations through the lens of a high powered telescope as your guide shares the mythology of the constellations.
