San Andreas Fault Line Trail (Wallace Creek) Details
California is located on one of the most earthquake-prone fault lines in the world, which you can see first-hand when you embark on this 1.3-mile hike. Here, you will have a view over Wallace Creek, which is now known for its zig-zagging ridges and sharp 90-degree turns. The riverbed was moved during an earthquake in the late 1800s when the San Andreas Fault Line beneath the river shifted 30-feet. During the hike, you will also be able to straddle the fault line and say you stood on two different tectonic plates at once.
