A sea of salmon-pink sand, ground from the surrounding Navajo sandstone and piled into dunes between Zion and Kanab. A state-park playground for sandboarding, ATVs, and low-sun photography — and a perfect break on a southern-Utah loop.

Plan around it
Access, fees, permits, and tour availability change with the season and the managing agency (tribal park, state park, BLM, or NPS) — confirm current rules and reservations before you go, tread lightly on sacred and fragile sites, and pack out everything you bring.
