Hey KGB. Some friends and myself were thinking of making a trip to Sand Mountain this summer and was wondering what the temps were like? We usually go to Glamis during spring break but thought about making a change and going during June to Utah. Do you think it would be too hot? I know it's cooler there than Glamis during June. Thanks.

I think devils dune is steeper than choke cherry too, but devils dune you can hit wide open in 5th and choke cherry you have to cut through the willows to get a decent run.

I have been too both. Was at Olds for the four stroke wars last year and have been to St. A's about 6 times. Choke Cherry is way steeper and a much harder hill to climb then Olds. I could ride my friend Z400 up Olds in reverse.
Plan the trip, Spend the Money and come to St. A's - you will not be disappointed

Well said. The Face of Utah's Sand Mtn is the steepest and highest combo in the US.. The Valley is the highest and longest in the US... Olds is small in comparison.. CCH will let a bad start be overcome if the quads aren't perfectly evenly matched.. If you get a bad start at Olds your done for the most part. Utahs starts don't matter unless the quads are ever so close in performance. The faster quad will always have enough time and distance to reel in a slightly slower quad.. I have many vids on dunereview.. Check em out..

Dunaholic,
It can be 90's that time of year, we usually make our last trips before fall, right in June. June is St. Anthony time! Its only 250 more miles north.

I'm sure you've been to Dumont... Take all of Dumonts biggest dunes and times them by a 100, now you have Saint Anthonys...

I have been watching the weather, and I was not too worried becasue I only had time for the festivities on Sunday. But now I have a bit more time to spare, so I was planing on some duning on Friday/Sat morning. I think unless its monson city I am coming. The wind blows though, and I hope it is not......
Thanks!q]
