We have enjoyed Little Sahara during all seasons for all of the above mentioned activities.  It is a good place to go and have a lot of fun.

Not a lot of services there so make sure you bring what you need as far as food and water, gas and equipment. Camping is great. If you stay late you will see some night wildlife such as fox and owl.

Some areas have more ATV crowd and some are a little quieter. It’s a big place so I am sure if you are out to climb sand mountain or sit quietly and read you will find what you need.

One time we were here riding, hiking and playing as a family. Around dusk a couple of foxes started to hang around. My son went out and sat quietly and they came really close to him.They were pretty used to people but they would only come close to him. We called him "the fox whisperer".
