Juniper Dunes Wilderness

Great place to ride your toys and hang out with family and friends

Nice place to ride. I've only been there once so far. Just when you think it's small then I get lost for a bit. Nice mix of sand and trails with mixed sand / dirt. I forgot my sand tires and got around fine. Wished I had them sometimes and other times glad I didn't have them on.

This wilderness is a great place to get "lost". Even though you are close to town at dusk climb up on a dune and find out how small we really are. Getting there: It is a long, slow, bouncy drive through the ORV park. Towards the end you need to make a choice between getting close to the "trailhead (opening in the gate) or close enough. It gets soft and the risk of being stuck in the sand becomes very high. The wilderness: By in large the ORV guys have respected the boundary and not rode past or through the fence. Some times you can see a track or two but not many. The ORV park boarders it and at times you can hear that traffic. There are no trails. Lots of sand and clumps of Juniper. That is your shade. There is no water...bring lots, it gets very hot. You get to wander around and really it is a beautiful place. Some small wildlife and millions of Morman Crickets.

It's difficult to get to the trail head as its only accessible through the ORV park. Be warned there are no trails only giant crickets and miles of sagebrush and juniper trees. The wilderness area offers sweeping panoramic views of the dunes surrounded by dramatic basalt ridges. Worth checking out if your already in the ORV park but not sure if it's worth a special trip to see.
