Coral Pink Sand Dunes
Visitors will wonder at the shifting arcs of crescent shaped dunes and sift the fine, salmon colored grains at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. This sweeping expanse of dunes is a playground for hiking, photographing, off-highway vehicle riding, or just playing in the sand. Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is a wonderful respite for those touring the Grand Circle or heading to southern Utah for a vacation. While the park is central to many other recreation areas, the park itself is an incredible destination. Park facilities include a 22 unit campground, modern restrooms, hot showers, sewage disposal station, a boardwalk, overlook trails, and a nature trail. The park is 12 miles off U.S. Highway 89 near Kanab.
