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!
