Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Kanab

I like to visit the Coral Pink Sand Dunes as the sun is setting. The dying light sets the sand "afire" and the temperature gets cool quickly. Give yourself time to hike one of the larger dunes for the best views. This can take upwards of 30 minutes so plan accordingly. Take off your shoes and socks and walk on the sand in your bare feet. It feels great and is good for the skin! Bring water. The pine trees around the dunes can deceive you but this is an arid desert climate. Even in the cool evening you will exert yourself walking around and need to stay hydrated. There is a shaded chowing area if you do not want to hike the dunes. Lots of seating for watching the dunes light up with the sunset.

A short 30 min drive from Kanab brings you to this gorgeous sand dune. Great for ATVs and there's even an RV park nearby that seemed busy. It can get really windy and it can be really cold or really hot depending on the weather. I spent around an hour and a half walking around and got on my way back. If you are walking, please be careful of high speed ATVs on the dunes.

It's amazingly beautiful even if it's all dunes or sand. The pink color heightens during sunset. It has a nice shaded picnic area and it has a grill station.

Unique park. Nicely maintained with walkways and barbecue areas. I highly recommend stopping here if you are on your way to Kanab. It is definitely worth the stop for the unique coloring and setting. Beautiful views.

Cool place ... orange sand dunes in the middle of nowhere. If you have ATVs or OHVs this place could be a blast. Obviously super hot in the Summer months, almost unbearable, so keep that in mind for safety.
