The Twilight Adventure provides guests with a nocturnal voyage among surreal shadows and darkness on a cooling desert landscape. Your journey begins before dark as you explore steep-walled canyons along the San Andreas Fault. As the sun begins to set, witness the spectacular transition from day to night as light casts amazing shadows on the mountains, creating a depth and range of colors unseen during the day. As darkness overtakes you, the clear desert sky comes alive with stars twinkling in the heavens above. Experience the amazing silence and beauty of the desert at night - away from the light and noise pollution of the city. The twilight tour is the best tour for seeing wildlife as many desert animals are most active right at sunrise and sunset.

The Twilight Adventure also includes a guided nature walk or short hike (geared to your ability) plus admission to the EPICENTER Earthquake Education Center which is filled with colorful maps and interactive displays showcasing the amazing power of the San Andreas Fault and educating guests about earthquakes and geology.
