Artesian Well

This sandy trail cuts through a sand dune with lots of sand hills creating an undulating dune environment. There is very little vegetation throughout, giving you an open, unobstructed view of the dune landscape. The trail travels east to west with many side spurs that come in and out of the trail which can get confusing at times, making navigation challenging in the uniform dune terrain. The lack of landmarks and numerous intersecting tracks mean you need to pay attention to maintain your intended route. This is in the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Open Riding Area, the largest in California, where registered OHV and highway legal vehicles are allowed.
