Coral Pink Sand Dunes
Between Zion National Park and Kanab, Utah, lies the only major sand dune field in the Colorado Plateau. The name of this State Park describes it perfectly; the sands here are a warm coral pink color. Estimates place these dunes between 10,000 and 15,000 years old:
On warm summer days, this spot is popular with dune buggy riders, but during this visit in mid November, I had the place all to myself. The winds quickly erase traces of visitors, including my footprints approaching the point I shot this at. I only needed to remove my footprints directly below the camera position.
Thanks for Viewing!
Martin

Beautiful view. Good lens, no flare from direct sun rays.

This is exactly as I remember it from so many years ago. Thanks for bringing back a great memory of a super visit. From here, we went on to Red Rocks and then Bryce. A terrific visit!

Hi George, and thank you! I am quite happy with this latest lens. There actually was one small flare that was easy to remove.

Hello Martin! The sand dunes are so beautiful. I feel as if I am standing inside the pictures. I appreciate your providing us with your spectacular panoramas. I always look forward to them. I have taken screen shots of every one I have seen, and use them for my desktop wallpaper.
