SxS day rides from Dumont?

[MaureenBS]

Looking for "destination" trail rides we can take from Dumont. Have done Sperry wash many times, never found anything "interesting" to go to, though the ride is good. Any suggestions? Thanks!

We're also looking to venture out further into the canyon.   When we find our way will let you know.  Been looking at a couple of places.

The mine by the little dunes is always scenic and gives you an idea what it was like to mine the area many years ago.

More details please, how to locate the mine - thanks

Yes, have been there many times. Always go when we have newbies with us. Thanks.

The mines are to the southeast of the Little Dunes. Here is the info from DDR. I have been over there on paddle tires before. Just take it slow and watch out for large rocks;

Little Dunes

Dumont Little Dunes GPS: 35°38'56.35"N / 116°17'34.49"W

Also referred to as Little Dumont, the Little Dunes are located right off highway 127. These dunes are most frequented by families with kids. There are no big hills or dunes at Little Dumont. All the same rules as the main dune area apply over there as well. There is a trail that connects Little Dumont with the Big Dunes. It is fairly long and dirt tires are recommended.

Here's a little more info on the mines and how to get there. It's not a very long ride, but it is well worth it if you've never been.

What about a day ride to the Date Farm or the Brewery in Tecopa, is that possible or not really

The date farm is not a good idea, since they use the money they make to attempt to keep us duners out of Dumont. @ynot can give you more information. 

@Landsandcrab you had a post awhile back about exploring the area around Dumont not in the sand, maybe you can give more information?? If I remember right it was a great post.
