If you're looking for a fun destination to make it a full weekend of camping and fun for your next long weekend, head to Glamis Dunes! At the Dunes you can find some of the most beautiful camping anywhere in California as well as a great open off-road area for some fun 4-wheeler riding.
Having been coined as some of the greatest sand on earth, the Glamis recreational part offers some really nice areas for open off-roading. These sand dunes have even become famous, having been the backdrop for several commercials as well as major motion pictures. If you don't have already have a great pair of sand tires, Raceway now sells sand tires with the scoops for cutting through the dunes easily. Having a good pair of tires will be the difference between a good time and a great time riding the dunes on your 4-wheeler.
One of the reasons that Glamis is so popular with riders would have to be the huge dunes it offers. A couple of the feature hills in the area are Competition Hill and Oldsmobile Hill, which also features the Glamis Beach Store for any necessities you may need to purchase such as snacks, drinks and more.
These dunes are some of the largest within the entire United States. They reach all the way to Mexico from their starting point about 20 miles east of Brawley, California. That is over 40 miles distance! Lots of people travel to the dunes all year round, however you should be prepared for some whopping temperatures in the summer months. The only true winter-related weather problem is the occasional blowing sand so you'll want to wear your goggles at times when riding your 4-wheeler on these dunes.
For your next outing, make a beeline to Glamis Dunes and make it a long weekend of 4-wheeler riding fun!
