Sometimes referred to as "Algodones Dunes", the Imperial Sand Dunes in the southeastern tip of California are the largest mass of sand dunes in California. They rise to over 300 feet, and form the eastern edge of the Imperial valley, forming a stark contrast to that agricultural region. Parts of the dunes are open to recreational vehicles, while others are protected by the 1994 California Desert Protection Act and may only be reached by foot or horseback.
