Painted Canyon Jeep Tour
Coachella Valley Agriculture and Hiking in the San Andreas Fault Zone
PAINTED CANYON JEEP TOUR
Experience sheer canyon walls, fascinating geology, local agriculture, scenic vistas, abundant desert flora, and amazing hiking options on this 4WD back-country adventure.
The on-road journey to Painted Canyon takes approximately 60 minutes each way. In Painted Canyon, you will spend most of your time out of the Jeep exploring on foot.
Coachella Valley Agriculture:
Journey to the eastern end of the Coachella Valley where you will find yourself immersed in our area’s second largest industry: agriculture. Depending on the time of year and growing conditions, you may see fields of artichokes, cauliflower, bell peppers, dates, table grapes, and citrus to name just a few of the crops grown locally.
Salton Sea Views:
As you rise above the agricultural basin and cross the beautiful Coachella canal, you will be afforded with a magnificent view of the awe-inspiring Salton Sea.
Out-of-this-World Scenery of the Painted Canyon
As you leave the pavement and enter the majestic Mecca Hills Wilderness Area, you will be amazed by the lunar-like landscape, reminiscent of Star Trek. Journey into the spectacular Painted Canyon and marvel at the billion-year-old rainbow-colored mineral striations towering above you.
Hiking
Choose from one of several walks or hikes through the canyons, ranging from an easy nature walk to the Indian Jones Hike or the Hike of Death! While your guide may take you to see the ladders in the Painted Canyon are, a ladder hike is not included due to it’s length and difficulty.
