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 State Park (Michigan) area in Mears, Michigan and portions of the Glamis Dunes in California.
