How farr away are Amargosa dunes from las vegas ? and is it worth the drive. ALso are the dunes big, are they steep ?

 

I have not been there yet. I was told to just get on 95 north and drive for an hour. You will see em from the highway.

 

Amorgosa is about 85 miles north west on us 95. When you get to Amorgosa valley (there is a cat house and a convenience store/resturaunt.) coninue about a mile or two and the turn off is on the left. I think the street is valley view. Just like the one on the west side of Vegas. You will see the dunes. Continue down that street a mile or so and you will come to the dirt road turn off. The dunes are pretty big and some are quite steep. Much steeper than Dumont. It is worth the drive. It is really the closest dunes to Vegas.

 

Is it too hot to ride there in the next couple of weeks? What's the temperature like in June?

 

Whats the closes town near it , and i also wanna know if it is going to be to hot. twgracer do you take your quads to school, maybe Palo Verde auto shop. I always see your z400 and sometimes your 450r.

 

The closest town is Indian Springs although there are some services in Amargosa Valley. The Amargosa Dunes are impressive, plenty of extremely steep hills along with some decent trail rides. Watch out for the small plant life that grows out of the dunes, one of my friends hit one and flipped his machine resulting in a broken leg.

 

Anybody want to ride in Las Vegas?

 

I'm planning on going to armagosa over labor day weekend (3-5 sep). It might get a little warm still. I check the weather forcast on duneguide.com. Haven't been to any dunes since yhe end of may. I went to L S , Utah. Been to apex a couple of times this summer.

 

I will definately be going to Amargosa when it cools down. I am sick of paying Cal and Ut so much money to register and ride. I don't think I am gonna do it this year. Besides my youngest boy is not allowed to ride in Utah until he is 8. See you guys when it cools down a little!
