It's not far from the house, 5 or 6 miles. But, forget it. The sand dunes were just OK and the locals used to go there. Some still do. The problem came when they build Sand Hollow Resorvior. and then put in a gulf coarse. It changed the way the sand blew and the amount of sand that blew. So now the sand dunes are not so good. There are rock outcroppings everywhere. A lot of people quit riding there including me. Coral Pink sand dunes are real good and there are quite a lot of trails across the highway from it. It is a much better place to go and if you go there to camp, let me know and I'll tell you where you can camp pretty much by yourself. The main camp0ing place can get packed out, dusty and roughty.

There is also the Utah's Little Sahara (found out there's several Little Sahara's) near Delta. It has lots of sand, hills, a mountain to try an climb and just out of the park is lots of trails. Just an FYI. Here's a photo of my knee as I flew over the dunes way back then.

Google coordinates N39 43 32.99 W 112 18 25.82 for the fee station and they recently upped the fee but made it a 2 day pass, I think. There's lots of area out side the park also.
