Heavy machinery got the job done along Wash Road in April 2010, widening and resurfacing this popular access to camp areas along the washes. Other recent improvements funded by fee dollars include the resurfacing of Cement Flats and Pads 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5. As this funding allows, minor road shoulder work along Gecko Road should progress throughout the summer months.
The Cahuilla and Buttercup Ranger Stations are now closed for the summer months. (Ranger stations will re-open in October.) 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. Largely known as a favorite location for off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, the dunes also offer fabulous scenery, opportunities for solitude, and a home to rare plants and animals.
