Slate Range Dunes Fat Ride
Nearly invisible from the Trona Wildrose Road. The dunes are collected on the lee side of a ridge midway upslope in the Slate Range. Prevailing winds frequently drop their load picked up from sources south and west of here. Nice spot for a picnic. Minimal garbage.

Only around 10,000 years old. Up on the plateau above Searles & Panamint Valleys in the Coso Rock Art District of the Mojave Desert. It’s a steep climb and there’s a bit of bouldering and scrambling and bushwhacking and stud piles dodging.
