Protected wilderness area in California, United States
The Rice Valley Wilderness is a wilderness area near Blythe and Rice in the Mojave Desert region of California, managed by the Bureau of Land Management.[1]
The 41,777-acre wilderness includes portions of the Big Maria Mountains, along with a stretch of sand dunes that is part of one of the state's largest dune systems.[1] Congress designated the area as part of the 1994 California Desert Protection Act.[2]
