Trail Overview

The area has a network of challenging trails just north of the dunes. It is a long trek from the Front Range, but definitely worth it. You will find a lot of different options for camping, and it is a very popular area on weekends. Watch for postings of closed areas, bring your own firewood and pack out your trash.

Very busy day for 4th of July. Open dunes were more quiet with only heavy traffic on the open dune climbs. Surprised no requirement for flags with mixed. Trails can be tricky with 2way traffic and brush, but tons of fun. Outside trails were in good condition, very washboard.
