White Sands in NM isn’t the only place with the shifting white quartz sand. Saint Anthony Sand Dunes is another one where the sand grows eight feet every season.
There are camping sites for you to settle in at but be prepared for some rustic camping at some of them. They are undeveloped with out door toilets – although there are a few that are modern service for those that don’t wish to experience the extreme. Recreational vehicles are also allowed and there is a unpaved parking area for use with hook ups, even a store of sorts to buy you those items that you forgot to bring.
Discover the adventures of Choke Cherry where you will probably have to come up the back side because the front is too steep for most vehicles. Then on to Devil’s Dune and Dead Horse Bowl along with a exciting variety of other places that you will discover as you ride the locale. Don’t simply stop at the “main” dunes, check out those less used, and enjoy the spot that is perfect for your desires.
Thunder Mountain is the place everyone races so if you are into competitive racing this is the place to be. You probably will just race to the top and then go back down since the other side is very steep and not conducive to racing.
The area is under the management of the Bureau of Land Management. There are rules, like a five mile per hour speed limit in the park that must be followed so you don’t harm your fellow campers. If you violoate this you will be required to leave, and you should be!!
The dunes are located just fifty miles northwest of Idaho Falls, nearby St. Anthony in the beautiful Eastern area of Idaho, one of the most popular Idaho attractions. Come and tour and come again and again, you are more than welcome.
