Little Sahara National Recreation Area

A plentiful sand source and strong prevailing winds have combined to create Little Sahara, one of the largest (128 sq. miles) dune fields found in Utah. Ride freely across sand dunes, unending trails, and enjoy a 700-foot mountain of sand. Come and enjoy the unusual white sand while playing, sun bathing and castle building. Close your day by relaxing to a sage tinted sunset. Enjoy the most beautiful sunsets you’ll see anywhere.
