Description: The 19,935 acre Cadiz Dunes Wilderness encompasses a major portion of the Cadiz Dune system and desert shrub lowlands just east of the dunes. These small dunes were formed by north winds pushing sands off the Cadiz Dry Lake. The pristine nature of the dunes and the beautiful spring display of unique dune plants have made the area a favorite for photographers. Wildlife tracks provide evidence of including coyote, black-tailed jackrabbits, kangaroo rats, quail and roadrunners, rattlesnakes, and several species of lizards.
