Utah Sand Dunes
Sand dunes are popular play spots, especially for people with dune buggies and ATVs. Utah has two famous sand dune areas: - Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park - Little Sahara Recreational AreaBut we have much more sand that that. The Daily Herald has this article about the White Wash Sand Dunes near the town of Green River. We also have popular dunes in the areas listed below, and minor dunes in many other spots. - Snow Canyon State Park - Sand Hollow State Park - Monument Valley - Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument - Lake PowellBelow are excerpts from the Herald article. The White Wash Sand Dunes are located off Interstate 70 in between Green River and the exit to Moab. Travel only 11 miles on a dirt road and you find yourself at a ridge overlooking an exciting view of slickrock and sand. Smaller sand dunes comingle with rolling slabs of slickrock. This is a great place for jeeps to play.
There are some other major differences between the White Wash Sand Dunes and the other major dunes that people should know about before they pack up and head out. The White Wash Sand Dunes are free; there isn't an entrance fee to get into the dunes. They do not have facilities for you to use. Therefore, you have to bring your own method of waste disposal; burying your waste is not permissable. The White Wash Sand Dunes are much smaller than the other two dunes areas, but at the same time they don't see nearly as much traffic.
