    FAQs

    How do I find the tour location if there isn’t a formal address?
    The tour is on a part of the Coachella Valley Nature Preserve and does not have a formal address. It is located 4.0 miles north of the Washington Street exit off Interstate 10. If using the nearest address for navigation (33920 Washington St. Indio, CA 92203), continue past it and go one mile further north. Look for the Covered Wagons sign and turn right onto the desert gravel road.

    Is parking available on site?
    Yes. There is plenty of on-site parking.

    Where is the tour relative to Del Webb's Sun City on Washington Street?
    The location is about 3 miles north of the entrance of Del Webb's Sun City on Washington Street.
