Sand Mountain NV
Sand Mountain Recreation Area - located just north of U.S. Highway 50, "the loneliest road in America," 25 miles east of Fallon, Nevada.
Managed by the U. S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the sand dunes of the 4,795 acre recreation fee area provide challenge and excitement for off-highway vehicle riders, hikers & sandboarders. Many people visiting the area also take time to explore the historic 1860 Pony Express station and learn about the plants and animals of the Great Basin at the Sand Springs Desert Study Area.
There is a designated dry-camping area near the base of Sand Mountain. Two new vault toilets are provided, however, visitors should bring plenty of water for drinking and washing since none is available at the site. Campfires are permitted, but there is no wood available.
Spring and fall offer the best weather at Sand Mountain. Mid-winter months can be cold and wet and summer days can be hot, dry and windy.
This area has plenty of hill climbs and bowls for an exciting time so come prepared for fun!! Also do not buy your gas at fox peak!! They are trying to close sand mountain, through legislative efforts.
