Christmas Valley Sand Dunes

Neal Manser

Beautiful sandy beaches without the beach, the sand was created during the formation of Crater Lake. Excellent stargazing and a lot of peace and quiet. Be advised, if you plan on driving a 4x4 vehicle it will need to be a 4WD and not an all-wheel drive or you will most certainly get stuck on the dunes. In a Toyota 4WD, you’ll want to use 4LO and engage A-TRAC instead of using Multi-Terrain Select. In Jeeps and Land Rovers, best to put in 4LO with the terrain set to auto. Subarus will have extreme difficulty without an experienced off road driver. You are supposed to have a whip flag on the dunes.

Worth the drive out to see if you’re in the area. The dog had fun in the sand. Crazy how big the dunes are in the middle of sage brush country.

Great sand dunes for ATVs and UTVs with camping. Dusty on hot days.

Wide open land with alot of dune space to ride on. Porta potties are on the occasional busy months, but is dry camping. Great spot, definitely recommend for sand riders, looking for fun & some scenery. This is a dry lake bed, have seen some fossils, and cool rock formations.
