Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park

Map

20 minutes from the ranch

Pink-hued dunes rise against red sandstone cliffs just down the road from the ranch. These dunes were formed over thousands of years by the erosion of pink-colored Navajo Sandstone and wind sweeping between the mountains. Some dunes shift as much as 50 feet a year, so the landscape never looks quite the same twice, and the contrast between the pink sand and the deep red rock behind it is hard to capture in a single photo.

Come for a quiet hike across the sand, or rent gear for OHV riding across the open dunes. Sunset is the best time to watch the colors shift and deepen across the whole park before the light fades.
