About this spot

Comp Hill

Comp Hill is a unique geological formation located in the Salton Sea watershed of California. It is essentially a large hill of sand dunes that have formed over centuries due to wind and water erosion. Some of the dunes can reach up to 80 feet high, providing visitors with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the Salton Sea and the nearby mountains. The dunes are constantly shifting, making for an ever-changing landscape that is fascinating to explore.

One of the main reasons to visit Comp Hill is for outdoor recreation. The dunes offer a range of activities, including hiking, sandboarding, and off-roading. The area is also popular for photography and birdwatching, as it is home to a variety of desert birds and other wildlife. Additionally, visitors can learn about the history of the area, including the ancient Cahuilla tribe who once lived in the region, and the more recent history of the Salton Sea, which was once a popular tourist destination before environmental issues caused its decline. Overall, Comp Hill is a unique and fascinating destination that offers something for everyone.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
