Sand Mountain

The shifting dunes at the 4,795-acre Sand Mountain Recreation Area are a haven for off-road enthusiasts. Riders should be careful when topping out, since the winds create razorbacks and slipfaces on the dunes. A fluorescent-orange “whip flag,” extending at least 8’ above ground level when the vehicle is stopped, is mandatory on all off-highway vehicles. Lighted whip masts should be used at night.
Getting There: 25 miles east of Fallon on U.S. 50
Fee: $90 annual pass or $40 weekly pass is required and may be purchased on site.
