Know Before You Go:
These dunes are a beautiful sunrise location!
We recommend going early to avoid mid-day heat, however if you do go mid-day, expect the sand to be hot and wear covered shoes.
Bring lots of water - walking in the dunes can be very tiring and slow going.
This spot is a choose ‘your own adventure’ situation, you’ll get great views just a few steps from the parking lot, or you can walk out into the sand to get a closer look at some of the larger dunes closer to the mountains.
