Located within the vast PINTO BASIN AND AT THE BASE OF THE IMPRESSIVE
PINTO MOUNTAIN IS A UNIQUE AREA KNOWN AS THE PINTO BASIN SAND DUNES.
Enjoy a slow paced, all cross country hike over lightly undulating
sandy terrain to this, the largest set of “sand DUNES” found
within the Park. Once at the DUNES, there will be a brief discussion
of how the DUNES WERE FORMED. This is a great place for desert
wildflower viewing including the possibility of seeing the elegant and
aromatic Desert Lily. Desert tortoise may also be seen as well as
signs of the nocturnal desert kit fox.Download the course outline:
