Trail Overview

Lower Dunes Road is a connector trail between Water Tank Road and West Frontage Road along the Lower Dunes Road. You can access John's Trail, Sliplock Gultch, and Dixie Springs Cutoff. The surface is primarily soft sand, and there are opportunities for views of Sand Hollow Reservoirs and red rock formations. This road is less traveled than the West Frontage Road, making it a good route for crossing the Sand Mountain Riding Area when moving East or West.
