Where is the water?

Where is the water?

Beyond this unnamed dune in Coral Pink Sand Dunes (State Park), the Moquith Mountains form the east boundary - on the opposite side of these mountains lies Kanab Canyon of Southern Utah. There is a permanant stream located here, known as Kanab Creek. It flows down into Kanab valley, and later meets the mighty Colorado River.

vanman ...

Dude, I was just in the process of posting it to SP. It's located about 15 miles east of Kanab, Utah. You can gain access via Hwy 89, just go out there toward Kanab, and you'll see the sign along Hwy 89 - can't miss it. Its VERY POPULAR with the locals, but AUTUMN is a great time to GO. THANKS for your interest! When it snows, the area is awesome!

Dunes...

I see you braved the ATV's to hike out and get that shot! I did too. The Coral Pink Sand Dunes are 11 miles from me. I go there often. :)

Re: Dunes...

Dunes are special gifts from Nature.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

What?

Why is this area so dry, yet a mile or two away is lush and green? Great photo.

It was

all in Mother Nature's plan! Some places

There are sand dunes ... in western Alaska!
