I've never seen the Dunes from above with the shadows quite like that!

I think the Winger guide refers to Herard as the Sentinal of the Dunes. I realy want to go up therre soon as I am a fan of the sand dunes. Since I started going to the dunes when I was 17 I always thought of Herard as "Two Fang Mountain" because Ididn't know the real name at the time. 13 years later I still like "Two Fang"!
