The Sensational Algodones Dunes in California

borran (71)in #travel • 7 years ago

When we were travelling in the U.S. we had lots of plans, what to do and what to visit. Unfortunately, you don't have time for everything. The Algodones Dunes were a pleasant surprise for us and was not a part of our plans. We didn't know about this amazing place, it just suddenly showed up beside us when we were driving from San Diego to Bullhead city. It felt like you suddenly were transferred into another planet as the sand piles get higher on both sides of the road. The Algodones Dunes is located in California near the border with Arizona and the Mexican state of Baja California.

Have you seen the movie "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi"? Some scenes were actually filmed here at the Algodones Dunes, also called as Imperial Sand Dunes.

I think I saw BB-8 (a droid character in the Star Wars movie) running in the desert! ;)

Absolutely stunning sunset!

I hope you enjoyed my post! Thanks for reading!

Always have had a weak spot for dunes 😂🙌🏼

I have yet to visit a big dune-area though (or how you put it).

Would love to go sand-surf, or go on ATV and jump haha, love extreme sport so 🙏🏼

Otherwise, if you're into travelling, vlogs, fitness, self-development etc feel free to check out my channel, in any case keep up the good work and I'll see you around!
