“perfect for OHV enthusiasts”
Located in the southeast corner of California, the Imperial Sand Dunes are the largest mass of sand dunes in the state. Formed by windblown sands of ancient Lake Cahuilla, the dune system extends for more than 40 miles in a band averaging 5 miles wide. Largely known as a favorite location for off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, the dunes also offer fabulous scenery, opportunities for solitude, and a home to rare plants and animals.
Have you always wanted to visit the Sahara Desert? Now you can...but not in Sahara...just in California!!
This place is just fantastic and unbelievably deserted!!! Rare cactus plants can be seen at the area, the scenery is fantastic and I would never regret visiting this place!
So different from the rest..you almost feel you are in another planet!!
Fantastic for all the family members...you can all play in the sand..just grab some water with you!
This place is incredible, and makes you feel like you are on an entire different planet!
