Living on the Edge of the San Andreas Fault may not be your idea of peace and relaxation, but rest assured, this journey with our affable geologist scholar, Amazing Bob Scarborough, is truly fascinating! Over the years, Bob has brought geological knowledge to many of our guests on tours from Baja California to Death Valley. Hidden treasures, many the result of the infamous fault’s seismic activity, abound in the Coachella Valley Region of Southern California!

You may be familiar with the fine golf, delightful hotels and memorable restaurants of Palm Desert and Palm Springs, but wait: There's more! This beautiful valley and the surrounding areas offer magnificent natural history. In this land of contrasts, lush palm and cottonwood oases spring out of stark landscapes.

Why? Because all this California beauty has its faults! As the Baja peninsula splits away from the Mainland, and the Californias slowly inch their way northward, the desert floor opens to allow water to spring forth to nourish growth that has long played important roles in the lives of wildlife, Indians, Hollywood and the local economy.

Today, the heat generated by the seismic stirrings way down continues to benefit us as it aids in the production of energy. Impressive arrays of wind generators are attempting to do the same.

From the higher elevations we will see California’s largest surface area of water 50 miles away: the Salton Sea, which attracts hundreds of species and millions of birds each year. In our days of exploration, we’ll visit this vast sea and surrounding deserts, palm canyons and mountain wilderness. We’ll learn about the tremendous forces that created these diverse habitats.

We’ll ride the world’s largest rotating tramcar up six thousand feet past the sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon to the 8,516 ft. mountain wilderness and enjoy a memorable lunch with the breathtaking vistas of the evermore-familiar landmarks below.

Our small group of just 20 guests is reserving now; you're invited to come and discover with us! The seasonal weather is just right: Wonderful!
