Dune bashing, also
known as Desert safari, is
a form of off-roading, using an off-road vehicle to explore sand
dunes. Whilst in some parts of the world, such as
the fragile coastal dunes of Australia, it is illegal, in others such as the
Middle East; it is a booming attraction for tourists.
In the United
States, there are a couple of areas as well, most
notably the Silver Lake area in Mears, Michigan and portions of the Glamis Dunes in California.
