One of the coolest places I have visited in Wyoming. The dunes almost reminded me of the beach. Minus the ocean of course

This place is awesome! The dunes are nice to rip around on. The sandunes are not very crowded. The dirt roads going up to the dunes are smooth and easy to drive on. There is a nice camping area that leads right to the dunes. The sunsets were absolutely beautiful!

So, these dunes are good but I wouldn't come back. The dirt road getting to them feels like it never ends, and it's rough in spots and covered in cows. I mean literally covered, I had to stop so many times to wait for cows to move. (Tons of cows means even more poop too.) I'm glad I saw them, my dogs had fun, but we won't go back.

Lots of wide open space to enjoy on off-road vehicles or by foot, whichever you prefer. The access road is somewhat long and rough but well worth the experience at the end. Be careful of the terrain as it can be deceiving in bright sun. Overall some of the best dunes to ride on anywhere in the US.
