White Sands in NM isn’t the only place with the shifting white quartz sand. St. Anthony Sand Dunes is another place where the sand grows 8 feet every season.
There are camping sites for you to stay at but be prepared for some primitive camping at some of them. They are unimproved with out door biffy’s - although there are some that are full service for those that don’t wish to go to the extreme. Recreational vehicles are also permitted and there is a gravel parking area for use with hook ups, even a store of sorts to get you those things that you forgot to pack.
Discover the challenges of Choke Cherry where you will probably have to come up the back side since the front is too steep for most vehicles. Then on to Devil’s Dune and Dead Horse Bowl along with a exciting bunch of other places that you will discover as you ride the locale. Don’t simply stop at the “main” dunes, explore the less used, and enjoy the area that is ideal for your desires.
Thunder Mountain is where everyone races so if you are into racing this is the place to be. You probably will want to race to the top and then ride back down since the other side is really steep and not appropriate to racing.
The park is under the management of the BLM. There are regulations, like a 5 mph speed limit in the park that must be obeyed so you don’t risk your fellow campers. If you violoate this you will be asked to leave, and you should be!!
The sand dunes are located just 50 miles northwest of Idaho Falls, nearby St. Anthony in the beautiful Eastern region of Idaho, on of the more popular Idaho attractions. Come and tour and come again and often, you are more than welcome.
