Our San Andreas Fault Sunset Jeep Tour is the same as our regular San Andreas Fault Jeep Eco Tour except that it is ideally suited for photographers. During the "magic hour" the long shadows bathe the hills in incredible red, yellow, orange, and purple hues. Wildlife also tends to be most active at sunrise and sunset, so your chances of catching a glimpse of a coyote, fox, owl, or other desert critter is slightly higher at this time of day.
