You will travel in covered wagons pulled by mules into the desert wilderness around Palm Springs. This eco-focused tour in the Palm Springs Desert ecosystem, run by Covered Wagons in the Coachella Valley, uses traditional wagons and animals to offer an authentic, western-style outing. The provider notes that comparable summer wagon experiences are more commonly found in places such as Colorado or Montana, making this a rare opportunity in California.
As you move through the landscape, the tour showcases the natural flora and fauna of the desert and offers an immersive, educational experience. Live entertainment is provided and described as professional and enjoyable. The outing also offers optional dancing lessons, games and hearty food, so you may join in social activities if you wish. Reviews describe the experience with words like adventurous, educational, beautiful and fun, and the provider evokes a feeling of the “good old days.” The overall emphasis is on a relaxed, inclusive desert experience that combines nature, entertainment and food in the Coachella Valley.
