About this place
The Coral Pink Sand Dunes lie about 20 miles west of Kanab, and off-roaders love them. It is open sand.
There are over 1500 acres to drive on. It covers the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park and the far northern end of the Moquith Mountain Wilderness Study Area.
The Bureau of Land Management and Utah State Parks run it between them.
In the Moquith Mountain study area, follow the off-highway vehicle etiquette and the rules that apply to a wilderness study area.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
