Step back in time and embark on an unforgettable adventure into the Colorado Sonoran Desert with a mule-drawn Covered Wagon Tour! Experience the thrill of exploring a pristine wilderness preserve, accessible only by this unique tour, as you journey in an open-air mule-drawn wagon. With the rugged canyon landscapes and natural oases stretching out before you, it’s easy to imagine the desert as it once was, untouched and wild.
Your journey begins with an expert naturalist on board, ready to entertain and educate as you explore the flora, fauna, and rich history of this ancient desert wilderness. Feel the timeless connection to the land as you traverse this unspoiled terrain, discovering hidden palm oases and learning about the fascinating natural history shaped by the San Andreas Fault.
As your tour returns to the ranch, you’ll be greeted by the lively sounds of Western music and the mouthwatering aroma of a traditional chuck-wagon-style BBQ. Bask in the glow of the vast desert sunset—one of the most breathtaking views in the Coachella Valley. The adventure continues with an optional, easy-going barn dance (lessons included), games, and live music, offering relaxation and entertainment.
Wrap up your evening with fresh seasonal pie and the simple pleasure of roasting marshmallows over an open campfire. The Covered Wagon Tour is more than just a journey through the Sonoran Desert—it’s a chance to savor the past’s sights, sounds, and flavors, all while creating new memories with friends and family. The good old days are still alive; this tour is the perfect way to experience them.
