The fault is 800 hundred miles long. There are multiple places along it that you can visit for no cost. You just research where you are and there are usually places along the way that you can stand on the fault line or get really close. Some of the fault is located along the I-10 in Coachella, Ca. Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs are on the fault also. Desert Hot springs exists because of the fault pushing hot water up onto the desert surface and creating hot rivers and pools where a lovely spa is located along with Al Capones house and former brothel. where spa treatments are done now. There is a visitor center on 29200 Thousand Palms Canyon Road where you can walk along the fault. You can visit the Living Desert in Palm Desert and there is a viewing area on a short trail that starts in the Living Desert. It is about a mile from the fault itself but there is an elevated viewing area with telescopes.
