Summary

[edit]
Description

These small dunes, part of the Mojave Trails National Monument, were formed by north winds pushing sand off the Cadiz Dry Lake. The pristine nature of the Cadiz Dunes Wilderness and the beautiful spring display of unique plants and desert wildlife like the fringe-toed lizard have made the area a favorite for many photographers.

Mojave Trails National Monument just east of Los Angeles, California spans 1.6 million acres and includes rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows and fossil beds, and spectacular sand dunes. The Monument also contains irreplaceable historical resources, such as the longest-remaining undeveloped stretch of the iconic Route 66 and World War II training camps.
