| One of our most popular tours and a real western experience! Imagine yourself on a mule-drawn covered wagon like the early settlers experienced while traveling across the Coachella Valley’s rugged desert landscape. There is no better way to get a close-up look at the Palm Springs area desert and out on the trail your onboard expert naturalist guide will share with you much about the wildlife, ecology, San Andreas Fault, and local Indian customs. The covered wagons have padded seats and rubber tires for a smooth, comfortable experience. Upon our arrival to an authentic chuck-wagon site offering panoramic views of the valley and mountains, you’ll enjoy a delicious western barbeque buffet of tri-tip beef and chicken, coleslaw, cowboy beans, garlic bread and apple pie with live western entertainment. Be sure to visit Boot Hill and the western artifact display for a revealing look at the pioneer way of life. A mystery stop will top off this day. Suggested: comfortable walking shoes. |
