Cadiz Dunes Wilderness, CA
Cadiz Dunes Wilderness is a reserve in San Bernardino County, California.
Size: 19,308 acres. Cadiz Dunes
Location: San Bernardino County; 40 miles east of Twentynine Palms, California (Note: Boundary set backs from roads or trails are 30 to 300 feet)
Area Description :
The 21,298-acre (approximate) Cadiz Dunes Wilderness encompasses a major portion of the Cadiz Dune system and desert shrub lowlands just east of the dunes. These small dunes were formed by north winds pushing sands off the Cadiz Dry Lake. Due to the remote location these dunes, they had very little OHV use prior to their designation as wilderness. The pristine nature of the dunes and the beautiful spring display of unique dune plants have made the area a favorite for photographers. Borrego milkvetch occurs in the sand dunes and is listed by the California Native Plant Society as rare and endangered in California. Wildlife is typical for the Mojave Desert; including coyote, black-tailed jackrabbits, ground squirrels, kangaroo rats, quail, roadrunners, rattlesnakes, and several species of lizards.
