We DO NOT recommend you search for The Sandbox on your own without registering for an event or scheduling a visit. The Sandbox is not open when events are not in progress, and visitors are not permitted on the property without expressed permission of our staff, even on scheduled event dates. There several hazards to be aware of while attempting to access The Sandbox from the dirt roads, including but not limited to:
Cattle - hitting a cow will cause severe damage to you and your automobile, plus you will be financially responsible for any injury or death of a cow. In Arizona, cows have more rights than humans.
Exposed natural gas lines 0 Most are marked, some are not, therefore it is crucial to stay on the main dirt roads.
Washed out dirt roads full of ruts, muddy roads (driving on it can be like driving on ice), and even sink holes. Currently, there are no sink holes on the main dirt roads that lead to The Sandbox, but we have found a couple on nearby dirt roads. One was more than 20 feet deep and 20 feet across.
Flash flood - Several small washes and one larger wash cross the dirt
roads and may be flowing with as much as 8 feet of water. Even if it is not raining, there may be water in the washes flowing from a nearby downpour.
Heat and Disorientation - Getting lost while driving and/or your automobile breaking down could lead to severe consequences, especially if you are not prepared and do not have enough liquids to stay hydrated, especially during the summer months. If we do not know that you plan on visiting or attending an event, and your automobile breaks down, we have no way of knowing of your predicament and cannot provide help.
Trespassing on other people's property - Please be considerate of other people's property. Many properties are marked or fenced off, but some may not be. Many nearby home owners report being targeted by burglars and scavengers and may not appreciate you driving up on their property.
