Weather: Daytime highs in the 80s to 90s

Jumps: Pretty much any sand dune you want to hit fast enough

Paddles?: Coral Pink has very fine sand, and paddles do more good for you at Coral Pink than at most sand dunes

Size: Not all that big. Going from memory I would say it is about 4 miles long by 1 mile wide

Rollers or Razr's?: Depends on the wind, but razr backs are a possibility. Coral Pink also has a lot of nice hillclimbs in the red sand and big pine trees. The hillclimbs are the best part of Coral Pink if you ask me.

Great weather (compared to here)
Some REAL good dunes to launch off, But roll most bigger jumps first, The sand there seems to shift easier and cause the bike to come off a jump more sideways...
GREAT Snake trails through the trees with some nice jumps in between...


Be very carefull riding from 10 am till about 4-5 pm.. The dunes blend together dangerously.... Especially the steep drop offs near the first part of the dunes comming from the "Meadow" I had a close encounter, even w/ special goggles that were supposed to adjust to the sun accordingly..


Other than that its one of the greatest for high speed dune runs through the "tree" areas. And when entering the dunes from the meadow, You can race up the long hill along the fence to your left.


If the sun is shining those dunes are deceptive.... TRUST ME!

We have been there a few times not in the summer though the last time we were there was April 17 and it snowed on us. As far as needing paddles I need them on a scrambler 400, but the KFX 700 I was able to go about any where I wanted. There are some fun trails to ride. You need to go one the sand canyon trail.
