Sand Mountain Recreation Area in Nevada is a premier destination for off-roading enthusiasts, offering 4,795 acres of diverse terrain dominated by the iconic 600-foot-high Sand Mountain dune. Located just east of Fallon along U.S. Route 50, this off-road paradise provides a thrilling environment for riders of UTVs, ATVs, dirt bikes, and sand rails. The area’s soft sand and steep inclines challenge even experienced riders, while the open expanses and smaller dunes cater to beginners and families. In addition to the exhilarating rides, Sand Mountain boasts unique attractions, such as the historic Pony Express Station and the ethereal singing dunes, which create a low humming sound when the sand shifts under certain conditions. With camping allowed on-site, it’s the perfect spot for an extended adventure under Nevada’s vast desert skies.

Its innovative dual-level cargo bed, with a tilting top box and an independent lower storage area, set it apart from competitors by maximizing practicality. The Commander featured Can-Am’s signature Visco-Lok front differential and a robust suspension system, delivering exceptional handling and off-road capability. Designed to tackle rugged trails and challenging terrain while maintaining comfort, the 2010 Can-Am Commander quickly became a favorite among off-road enthusiasts looking for a side-by-side that could do it all.
