Three Miles Each Way
Easy Hike

The Three Dunes trailhead is at the scenic view overlook parking lot off State Route 95 South, located about five miles south of Lake Havasu City. Park in the southern part of the parking lot and walk toward the river and you will see the trail.

Follow this trail to the electrical wires, and turn left onto a jeep trail and follow that into the wash.  Once in the wash, turn right and you are on your way.

As you walk out of the rocky area, you will see the first dune.  Stay in the center of the wash and hike toward the water, where you will see a path that leads up and over a little ridge.

This narrow path is a nice easy walk. Once through the rocks, make sure to stay to the left/left center of the wash where it meets the jeep trail that goes up and out of the wash to the left.

Once on the jeep trail, hike a few hundred yards and there will be a trail heading off to the right. That is the final leg back to the parking lot.
