The two highest dunes are in the heart of the park. One is about 90 feet, the other about 110 feet. Even the tallest dunes were heavily scarred by tracks of ATVs, motor bikes, dune buggies and other vehicles permitted to drive on them. Before ascending the highest dune, I walked a half-mile looping nature trail to learn about the park's geology, vegetation and wildlife. It is home to Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetles, found nowhere else on Earth.
Signs encourage visitors to walk the nature trail barefoot.
