Glamis, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glamis, California is one of a series of former railroad stops along the eastern edge of the Algodones Dunes, in Imperial County, California, located where the railway crosses State Route 78; other former stops in this area include Acolita, Clyde, Ruthven, and Ogilby.

Glamis is located at 32°59′47″N, 115°4′18″W

Glamis has virtually no permanent structures aside from the "Glamis Store" and "Boardmanville Trading Post". Both of which offer supplies, especially fuel, for some of the hundreds of thousands of recreational visitors each year (many of them ORV users) that pass through the Algodones Dunes and the associated Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, which is located in the southern portion of the dune system. The name "Glamis" or "Glamis Dunes" is often used to refer to either or both of these areas, though technically this is incorrect.
