The Kelso Dunes Road will be closed for a restabilizing and re-grading project from February 22 to March 8. The road needs significant repair, and the project will improve both safety and access.
During this time, access to the Kelso Dunes trailhead will be available via a detour along the Powerline Road, which runs parallel, roughly 1,000ft., south of the Kelso Dunes Road. The detour route is marked in green on the first picture in this post. The Powerline Road is not suitable for all vehicles. Only High Clearance and 4WD should travel the narrow, rocky dirt road. It is not suitable for RVs.
After completion of the repairs and improvements, visitors will note a smoother road to one of the preserve’s most popular destinations.
