Useful Information
Small-Group Twilight Adventure
Your journey begins before dark as you explore steep-walled canyons along the San Andreas Fault. As the sun begins to set, grab your camera to capture 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 twinkling stars. Experience the pure silence and beauty of the desert at night, away from the lights and noise of the city. Twilight is also the best time to spot wildlife, as many desert animals are most active at sunset.
While you explore the pristine, natural palm oasis of this area, learn how and why the Cahuilla Indians lived on the San Andreas Fault and hear fascinating stories of the valley's pioneer settlers and gold miners. You can even pan for gold!
