## Overview

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. Dunes often reach
heights of 300 feet above the desert floor, providing outstanding
opportunities for recreation. A favorite place for off-highway vehicle (OHV)
enthusiasts, the dunes also offer fabulous scenery, opportunities for
solitude, and a home to rare plants and animals.

With most of the off-road action taking place in the recreation area south of
Highway 78, the open areas allow all types of vehicle recreation. Limited
areas surround the dunes require vehicles to travel on designated routes.
Closed areas prohibit motorized vehicle use entirely. Information and maps for
all of these areas are available at the ranger stations.

The North Algodones Dunes Wilderness offers a tranquil alternative to the
fast-paced action of the main dunes. This wilderness encompasses more than
26,000 acres, with the largest and tallest dunes located in the central area.
Visitors are welcome to walk or ride horses in this remote area. The
wilderness is closed to all vehicles and mechanized use.
