What you'll see 🌄 Big views

A cross-country walk over the park's most accessible dunes to a hundred-foot crest.

Tips
There is no trail - pick a dune and go. Sunrise and sunset give the ripple shadows; midday is flat and glaring. Sand can be dangerously hot in summer, and it is a favourite spot for sidewinder tracks at dawn.
