GOWILDforEveryKid at the Cadiz Dunes Wilderness in California!

The Cadiz Dunes Wilderness is located in a remote corner of the Mojave Desert about 12 miles south of Cadiz and historic Route 66. These small dunes were formed by north winds pushing sands off the Cadiz Dry Lake. The pristine nature of the dunes and the beautiful display of unique dune plants have made the area a favorite for photographers. It is surrounded by several other wilderness mountain ranges that provide dramatic backdrops for the dunes.

In addition to beautiful and unique views, visitors can slide and jump in the dunes – just a short hike from the 4WD access road. It’s the perfect experience for kids! CLICK HERE to learn more and plan a visit.
