Covered Wagon Tours is an experience of Adventure, Entertainment, and Delicious BBQ. The Good Old Days are still here!
Hop aboard for a one-of-a-kind western adventure and Sonoran Desert Eco Tour. Ride into scenic canyons that are part of a 32,000-acre oasis wilderness preserve. This is all from the comfort of our open-air, Covered Wagons! Your naturalist guide and wagon driver will entertain and expound on the plant life, wildlife, Native American and Pioneer History and the geology of this “San Andreas Fault” created wilderness. A guided nature walk is also included and optional!
Return to camp with the smell of dinner cooking and to live-western music. Enjoy the sounds of classic American Cowboy Country, desert- folklore originals and sweet campfire songs. Continue the fun, with a line dance and or our old-fashioned partner dance, known as, “The Barn Dance”! This is a favorite amongst our guests! If you suffer with two left feet, and dance is not for You, then try your luck at a game of horseshoes, cornhole or cowboy style roping.
Experience the glow of the desert sun sinking behind the San Jacinto Mountains while enjoying a catered chuckwagon- style BBQ dinner. Indulge in Smoked Brisket or Tri-Tip, BBQ Chicken, served with all the classic trimmings. Guests are welcome to sit inside our desert-style barn or outside, along the desert’s edge of our scenic, Sonoran patio. After dinner, enjoy seasonal pie with whipped cream. Round off the evening, roasting marshmallows beside a glowing campfire, under a stary sky.
Our commitment is to offer our guests one of the most unique and immersive tour experiences in Palm Springs. We strive to give our visitors an authentic, natural encounter in a serene desert venue with genuine hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you to the ranch for unforgettable memories to last a lifetime!

Our family had an absolutely fantastic time on the covered wagon adventure and BBQ. The covered wagon ride was so much fun and allowed for some amazing views of the surrounding desert and Oasis. The live music and dancing were SO MUCH fun!! The cowboy style meal was delicious. This was a truly unique and entertaining experience that I would highly recommend.

We’ve been coming to the desert for a long time and always looking for something different to entertain the whole family. We FOUND it. What a great experience. We were greeted and welcomed as soon as we got out of the car.
