Default Sand dunes??? what state is king?

Yep. Glamis is north dunes off the 76 side and Gordons Well and Buttercup is south dunes off the 8. you can either ride through the dunes to get across to either side or you can drive down Ogilby [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If you were to ride across from Glamis to Gordons Well or Buttercup you'd have to fill up to get back[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Im in about 40 miles away from there so I could probably ride my quad all the way out there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I hear that back in the day when times were ..... freer? (if that's even a word) that way deep in the heart of the Pismo dunes in CA there's this killer Comp. Hill. I wish an old timer would verify this for me.

Utah might not have the best dunes (thats up for debate) but Living here is the best place to live if your a Duner.
Little Saraha is less than 2 hrs from SLC.
St A's is less than 3 hrs from SLC.
Sand Hollow is less than 4 hrs from SLC.
Coral Pink is about 4 hrs from SLC.
Knolls (harldy a sand dune area, but a great desert area w/ some sand) is only 1 hr from SLC.
Not to mention we no sound limits, green stickers, spark arrestors laws, and that good beer.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

All things considered, Sand Mountain (Jericho) is a killer spot:

nice sized dunes (height and acreage)
a huge variety of terrain (from easy to WFO up the Spine with a razors edge on it)
tons of chutes to run
tons of trees to pee behind
cheap (what $8 a car?)
no crowds (relative to CA)
no restrictions like the west coast states ('cept a helmet law would be nice IMO)
very close to the people who ride there
to far a drive for all the CA peeps who want to ride there [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

St. Anthony is like going back to the dinosaur days - everything is huge and there's not much out there. If Nessy (lochness monster) liked sand, she'd live there.

I am definately not an old timer, but I believe you are talking about Devils slide. There are some web sites out there with pics of it back in the day. I would love to ride that!! I wouldn't doubt it if Da Beechman has snuck back there. Beech, where you at?????????

If you ever want to feel alone, take highway 28 on the way from St Anthony dunes up to Salmon Id. The nuclear engineering labs are out there because it's so desolate. One time also we took the road from Mean Gene's continuing north, and it winds around for miles before coming to the highway. No telephone poles, no houses, no nothin for miles and miles. It's almost twilight zone creepy.
