My signature has decent pics. Wyoduners site is excellent.. China Wall stacked on top of Olds is way short of Sand Mtn NV/Ut.. The sand at Saint Anthonys is the softest sand of any dune area. It's almost like stepping into fresh powder/snow......

KGB, LTSRFASTER and jstaguy24.. thanks for the replies....

I may pass thru Utah on the drive back from Glamis to MN during April. I think I should time it for a
stop at Sand mountain during a busy weekend.


I'll have to do some reading about the ride area and coordinate my work schedule for a possible stop
to enjoy that area .. maybe a couple of days riding.

Thanks,
Mike (aka FAST1)

Just head for Nephi and I believe it is about 15 miles from Nephi which is on I-15

I haven't been to Glamis, but I've seen lots of photos. I have been to St Anthony's Idaho. Choke Cherry Hill is over 600ft tall. This is official from the BLM on location. My 400EX wouldn't climb it. A Z400 barely made it. the new YFZ450 made it with no problems. A stock Banshee can do it, as well as a stock predator.

Nearbye KillPecker Dunes in Wyoming, north of Rock Springs has short steep hills, and it's also 10,000 acres like St. Anthony. My 400EX could climb the 2nd and 3rd steepest hills, but not the tallest. (there was no place to build up any speed)

Glamis has the largest amount of sand, 70,000 acres but I'm fairly sure they don't have the tallest. A guy would have to go to all the places with a GPS to really know for sure.

I really only ride at glamis but I have seen 400's and 250R's that can't make it up China Wall, How the hell do you make it up somthing over twice as tall...

I was running China Wall several weekends ago along with a 250R that had either a 310 or 350 power valve engine (can't remember what he said)along with high octane fuel. We were running neck and neck trading off wins to the top. I only ran imy YFZ in 3rd gear however it pulled strong. The other rider weighed about 145 to 155 and I am at 180 lbs. The hill is very steep, one of the steepest in Glamis, but not as long as Olds hill.
