Sand Dune Arch Trail Details
The small Sand Dune Arch is only 0.3 miles round-trip along a sandy trail. A favorite with children, be sure to bring your camera along and extra water. The path winds through fins and large rocks which provide more shade than most trails in the park. Unfortunately, vandals have scratched graffiti into the rocks, prompting the Parks Service to fence off areas to prevent further damage. Park at the Sand Dune Arch parking area.
