coral pink sand dunes state park

Amazing scenery, be prepared to get sand everywhere but it is really fun. Small to huge sand dunes create a magical landscape. My kids brought cardboard to ride down the hills but it didn't quite work possibly try a plastic toboggan?

Middle of no where, beautiful place. Very colorful. spend an hour or two just walking around. Just 7 dollars.

I love driving this route down to AZ and past the sign several times to the sand dunes and decided that I needed to check them out. It was worth the stop for sure.

My husband and I stopped by the Coral Pink Sand Dunes while we were staying in Kanab. The sand dunes were pretty, but not as impressive as I hoped. We wandered along a trail close to the visitors' center that provided information about some of the plants that grow in the dunes. We also saw some tracks left by insects-that was cool! I feel like if we had planned more activities to do in the park (such as ATV riding or a longer hike) we might have seen more/been more impressed. It certainly wasn't a bad experience, so I would still recommend stopping by if you have time and are in the area.

Not your average 'sand dunes' .. wind swept natural art is spectacular. Some wooden walkways and many beautiful viewsThe sand color is unique and so unusual to an easterner.

I stayed the night in the campground and nobody else was there . It was so quiet except for the coyotes at 2 am . The dunes had not had vehicle traffic since the fall so the winter winds had made ripples across them . I would not go there during the ATV season but my visit was peaceful and sandy!

This is a must. Your pictures will look as though you went to Mars. I recommend adding this to an itinerary of quick trips, such as a multi-stop day trip. You can explore the Sand Dunes in just about 2 or 3 hours. I wanted to rent an ATV but the company that rents them was closed for the season (they're opened late March to late October). Watch out for deer late in the afternoon.

This was SO GORGEOUS! I parked on a little off shoot of the roadway that had some informational signs regarding the region. I hiked up the huge sand dune directly in front of me and VOILA! Beauty and solitude. I was there on a Wednesday morning in February and I can pretty much guarantee that it's most likely A LOT more crowded with people and ATVs on the weekends and when the weather is warmer. I hiked up and down the dunes and got a great workout. I read that you can go to the Park Ranger and rent a sleigh for the day. I would TOTALLY do that! .

a very different sand. So missed our quad. A great area for walking down the water ways. This sand is so soft and powdery. Beauty everywhere. A perfect - free - quad and recreation area - or pay and ride the dunes in the State Park. Do not miss this one.

This park is really great if you're taking an ATV - not only is there the main park area, accessed through the visitor's center, there is a wealth of other space that falls under the umbrella of the "Sand Dunes" that is only accessible to high-clearance, 4WD vehicles/off-road vehicles. Whether you're within the bounds of the park or a bit outside of them, your best bet for a fun day is to rent some ATVs and really have at it. I am personally much more of a hiker than the type of person who off-roads in the great outdoors, but you are really missing out if you don't check out some off-the-road action at this park.

It is a short drive to Coral Pink Sand Dunes. It is approximately 20 miles north of Kanab on highway 89. The drive getting to the Sand Dunes is beautiful, driving through the Red Cliffs of Southern Utah. You will turn left off 89 to Coral Pink Sand Dunes. When arriving at the Dunes you will find large coral pink sand dunes that are very unusual and beautiful. There is a visitorcenter there. It is a nice way to spend a few hours seeing the beauty of Southern Utah.

Add a half hour to your trip between Bryce/Zion and Kanab and see this geological surprise. Even if you don't have time to wander on the dunes, the sight of the sand formations is fascinating. A beach with no sea. There is a ranger station, but when we were there it said no one was on duty so please leave your admission fee in the box. If one was so inclined, they could go in without paying. Small picnic area.

Take a walk on these gorgeous pink sand dunes. Plenty of parking and room for everyone. The visitors center was closed for the holidays when we visited, but I would come back here. There wasn't anyone else around when we came, but that only added to the remote feel. Saw the little burrow holes.

I visited in December, and no one was around. That made the hiking wonderful! Yes there is a fee & you could skip it going down the road some, but I felt the experience was well worth the price. The park has one observation deck great for panoramic views or watching the atv's drive around. There is a GPS challenge you can ask for, I didn't but it sounded fun. I took enjoyment in trekking over dunes, picking a distant point ( like the odd trees by themselves or the cliff face.) & walking to them. Now judging from the Atv treds, if you go hiking on the dunes, you'll need to watch out for the vehicles during the busier months, but there are areas the atv's are supposed to stay away from.The place looks great to just let your kids loose & play in the sand. (Just be prepared for a filthy car, sand everywhere, and watch fo atv's.)

Surreal, Star Wars-like sand dunes with beautiful vistas everywhere. The ranger will rent you a sand sled for $25, and it beats snow sledding any day of the week - soft, fast, so so fun. Other folks were sand boarding, and that looked like a blast too. I highly recommend this state park just for the vistas, but throw in sand sledding and it becomes one of our best park experiences. I wisely brought goggles for my kids to keep sand out of their eyes as it whips around at the top of the dunes. I definitely recommend some eye protection though others were out there without it.I saw people off-roading in ATVs, and I generally don't love parks that have a lot of ATV's, but maybe because it was November, there weren't a lot of people there, and the ATV action wasn't overwhelming. It actually looked like a lot of fun. I can't say what it looks like during a more busy season though, and I do think it would be annoying if there were a lot of ATVs buzzing around you.
