Review:
The Algodones Sand Dunes system is one of the largest in North America, about eight miles wide and 40 miles long, situated on the eastern edge of Southern California. The wilderness area of the dunes system provides intrepid hikers with an immense trail-less expanse of complete solitude to explore on foot or horseback only.
If you would like to go dune back-packing and backcountry camping, you need to bring everything you need with you, including plenty of water. No vehicles are allowed in the wilderness area, but off-road fanatics can have fun in the Imperial Sand Dunes and in Glamis, to the north of the wilderness area.
