I was there(Dumont) over mothers day weekend and it was a ghost town , temp was only around 96 but
it did get a little to hot to ride. If you want to do a summer dune trip do Pismo or Coral Pink .

 

Mrs.Mins I'm still trying to figure out how you are going to make it to Dumont "I picked that because Las Vegas is on the way." from Texas without travelling around the world since it's on the way?

 

Warning, Dumont in summer is bad news!!!!! im still feeling the effects from a heat stroke from 2 years ago, 4th gear tapped and i passed out, the sand blew my ear drum out and packed my eye with sand from impact, the heat is decieving when riding and having fun, by the way I WAS stupid at the time and was not wearing helmet at the time of crash!!

 

Not sure what you mean Dune Pilot but it looks like we would hit Vegas first. Only question then is whether I would leave Vegas once I got there. We want to try RVing and bring all three quads. I guess we will wait till October.

 

If you want to do a summer trip, I would do coral pink. If you want to camp in the campground you need reservations though. There is an open place to camp, I think they call it the meadows or something like that, but there is no shade and no facilities.

Last year me and my wife and son spent the last week in July down there. It got hot during the day, but not unbearable and we did alot of day trips to see the sites, like zions park, and bryce canyon etc. There are lots of places to see around there.

If you cant tell, I like coral pink and would love to go back soon, probably not this year with the new baby, but next for sure. Oh, and the campground is very regulated. I am not sure how far it is from vegas though.

Sorry to ramble.

MrsMins,


Welcome to the Forum!







Bigger.

 

Thanks Kyle! Looking forward to seeing you and your wife on the 28th.

Batoutahell, where is Coral Pink? It sounds nice.

 

Coral Pink is in Utah about 4 to 5 hours from Vegas . Camp ground has showers and restrooms and you can ride your quads right from camp .
There is a couple of web sites on Coral Pink

 

I will be at dumont on halloween with fellow forum members...

hopefullly whipping some a$$ up that hill....

 

Coral pink is about 12 miles north of Kanab utah, if you are looking on a map.

The dunes are not the biggest in the world, but they are fun and there is nice camping and everyone was real friendly.
