About

Though there are no official trails, you're welcome to wander into the sand dunes here. Sunsets are especially spectacular. And, this is yet another filming location for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Standing at the parking lot and facing the sand dunes, you may recognize the mountains to your right as the backdrop behind droid R2-D2, as he separates from C-3PO after crash landing into the dunes in an escape pod.
