Imperial Sand Dunes Glamis is the "CENTER OF THE WORLD", so the sign claims... and why not, the center has to be somewhere. Highway 78 between Glamis and Palo Verde is mostly public lands. There is a road that follows along the edge of Imperial Sand Dunes with good camping. It is hot, dry and dusty... your in the desert. Bring your own water. Firerings have been built throughout the desert. The roads are rough and don't be surprised if there is loose sand. Tree Covered With Laundry Tree covered with old laundry. Set it on fire and it could be a work of art. California Highway 78 North from Imperial Sand Dunes.
