Imperial Dunes

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. The North Algodones Dunes Wilderness encompasses more than 26,000 acres, with the largest and tallest dunes located in the central area. The wilderness is closed to all vehicles and mechanized use.
