Sand Dunes

We went to the Mussuntuchut(sp) Sand Dunes. I had never been there before. You get there by going up Salina Canyon (I think) past Gooseberry a ways than on this road that winds around for a while and there are a lot of black rocks on the ground, (now aren't those some good directions?! I wasn't driving, so I am not really sure how we got there). So it is crazy there is just this huge sand hill in the middle of all these rocks. The sand was amazingly soft and fine. When you moved it it was like if was flowing like water, it was so awesome. The kids loved it, and we took the 4-wheeler to ride around, and Tom got pretty daring making a loop on the hill and then trying to go higher each time.

Madison was pretty brave to jump over a hole into Tom's arms. The hills were great to run and jump down because they were so steep. The hiking up part wasn't as much fun but once we were on top it was pretty cool!

That looks like so much fun. It would be like playing in a huge sand pile. I have never even heard of that place! It looks like you had a fun time!

What in the world? So, why, again, did I drive all the way to the southern border of Utah to get to some sand dunes? This place must be secret. Thanks for letting me in on it. I think I could get right to it from your directions...just don't be surprised if I come up missing ;)
