Dune Map
This large dune area at one time offered 700 acres to explore but is now closed and no longer open for riding. The area was very popular with ATVs due to the numerous small flat dunes and handful of side trails. The area had an eastern and western staging area, each with primitive camping and some basic amenities. Whip flags were required and some fees where charged to camp and ride.
This listing will remain up to dispel rumurs and to help prevent a wasted trip. Nearby dune areas that are still open for riding include Red Sands (El Paso, Texas), Red Sands (Alamogordo, New Mexico), Hackberry Lake and Mescalero Sand Dunes.
