Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park – Utah

Images of Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park – Southern Utah, taken in May 2018.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park sits just north of the Utah / Arizona border and protects this area of colorful dunes made up of eroded Navajo Sandstone particles blown from nearby rock formations.

Sand dunes are always fun to explore especially with a camera. The smooth sand surfaces cut and carved by the wind; the animal and insect tracks and the fascinating plants and their shadows make for some very interesting images. Ten percent of this park is fenced off for use by hikers while the other 90 percent, or approximately 1200 acres, is marked for access by those on Off Highway Vehicles (OHV). Fortunately sand dunes are unique in that they continually move and cover all tracks; whether they are made by animals or humans, the dunes constantly heal themselves.
