This park is an ATV paradise....if only we had one! Oh well, it was still a blast playing and climbing on the sand dunes. The sand itself was so soft and beautiful.
Those are people on the dunes, to give you an idea for scale.
This is just outside of Kanab, a mecca for hikers and climbers. We went into town for dinner and talked to a local who had also lived in Vegas for awhile and left for Kanab's proximity to Zion, Bryce, etc. We stopped in to the famous Best Friend's Animal Sanctuary featured on the TV show, Dogtown. They rescue abused and neglected animals of all kids and have around 1700 on property. They showed us a video about their history and mission, but we had to skip the 90 minute tour to meet the dogs and cats. The kids would not have enjoyed it as it was almost all from inside a van. We added this to our list to visit again and hopefully come with enough time to volunteer to help with the animals.
That night and the next day we spent more time playing and exploring the dunes. The kids and I tracked bugs and lizards from their footprints in the sand, amazed at how each one had a different pattern.
We even found the very special Tiger Beetle, it is only found at this park and they are working on saving it from becoming extinct.
