Hey 2Fun, sad to hear you cant make your yearly time. I would think that at 6000 ft St. Anthony would have cool nights and nice days all summer long. But now you got me wondering, I am going to check the averages for july and august.

 

Yeah I know! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Let me know what you find out. Also, any locals who's like to chime in with any info would be great! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

If I can't make it this year, I GARAUNTEE you I will make it next year!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Okay you guys that go to Idaho, convinvce me that I should drive all that way from Oklahoma. I have been told that I should go. We have 4 wheelers and a 2 seat long travel rail. What about electric and such?

any info would be appreciated. When to go and when not to go. We usually got to Little Sahara in Oklahoma.

Thanks,
Ronnie

The weather in the fall is nice as well. We usually do one more quick trip down in September for a few days. The weather is usually nice during the days and cools down a fair bit at night. If you are tenting in the fall bring a heater. The days are shorter too, if I remember it gets dark around 7 or 8 pm.

Too bad you can't make it out this June.

You have to come and try St. A's the dunes are the best in the US - my 2 cents
Hugh bowls that I am sure you will be able to keep those rails wound out and hills that will give you second thoughts. I try to make 2 trips a year and its an 18 hour drive for me - but worth it everytime.

There are 3 campgrounds at St. A's.

Sandhills - The best one - all the sports are grass and the campground is very well taken care of, although it is the furthest form the big dunes - about a 45 minute cruise. They have full hooks ups - power, water, sewer.

Desert Oasis - My second choice - place almost in the center of the dunes. - No grass all dirt, so it can be dusty in the campground. I belive they have full hookups and are a bit cheaper as well.

The BLM - 3rd choice - closest to the big dunes - all gravel spots - not sure if they have power/water/sewer.

 

Hey Bluegoose, you better not go to St Anthony. After riding there you wont be able to have fun at Little Sahara any more( just kidding ) We also have a 18 hour drive from minneapolis but it is well worth it.

 

2Fun, the averages are June-74/41 with 1.52in precip. July-83/46 with .92 in precip. Aug- 83/43 with .75 in precip. sept-73/35 with .92 in precip. Looks to me like awsome weather all summer long.

 

Saint Anthonys is worth any distance.. It is simply paradise.. Rails can take full advantage of the monster dunes and bowls.. I like the first two weeks in June, 70-75 perfect degrees.. July gets to 90 and that's no fun in my book.. If I stop out in the dunes take a break and sweat my **** off, it's tooo hot.. 9 miles of jaw dropping monster sized dunes and about 7 miles of smaller to medium sized stuff.

 

Sound like I need to plan a trip from june 7th through the 17th, so I can ride with all of you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Atleast to meet up with sandgod and the group with the Flatlanders. Will see.

Wow!! Thats good to know!!

Sounds like June and late August to early Sept might be the best, but not too bad the other months either??

 

Tell me more. Is there a website? Sounds like a great place to ride. It's 8 degrees here and I need some sand time bad. I don't know how some of you guys live up north. I live in southern Oklahoma and we don't usually have this cold temps.

thanks guys sounds like we will take a trip either this summer or next. need to do some planning.
