Sand Mountain

Sand Mountain is located in the high desert of Nevada, 25 miles east of Fallon off Highway 50. The mountain is managed by the BLM. This giant sand dune, a popular recreation spot for off-road vehicles, hikers, and sandboarders, was created by the wind-blown sand from the beaches of the prehistoric sea that once covered Nevada. The wind is constantly changing the shape of Sand Mountain and sometimes the shifting of the sand will produce a soft rustling, or even an eerie booming sound. This unique characteristic has earned Sand Mountain its nickname of "Singing Mountain".

There is a designated dry-camping area near the base of Sand Mountain.
