I have been back and forth on that highway so many times I could not count them. My car knows the way by itself. Yet I have never taken that turn into the coral sand dunes. Frustrates me when I think how much we miss driving somewhere and not seeing all there is to see. Time seems to win out.

I do so love your informative posts. Great sand dunes and the little animals were in all probability nocturnal. I have witnessed similar tracks in our sandy deserts.
Great post Gaelyn as always.

Keep posting about the Kanab area! We are planning on our rim-to-rim hike in May, and then to dwaddle in the Kanab/Zion areas for a few more days. You are giving me so many great ideas!!

Look at all those different sands - how intriguing! I like the little paw prints going into the grasses.

Another natural marvel. Looks like the beach although its desert. The stones are very interesting. Would love to collect a few, but I imagine one isn't allowed to.

That's interesting, very cool. Geology is fascinating. We met with a customer's geologists last week and it was fascinating how they talked about different formations and how they rise and descend thousands of feet of millions of years.

Pretty amazing color of sand. Is it unique to that area? You find the coolest rocks.
