Sand Mountain
a 600-foot "singing" dune off the highway
Sand Mountain is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Loneliest Road (US-50) because it gives the drive its texture: a 600-foot "singing" dune off the highway. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Loneliest Road runs Carson City → Baker, NV. Big-empty Nevada, basin and range.
