you are so close to St Anthony Idaho ..... Those are some awesome dunes....Must see !!!!!

You live in SLC and Saint Anthonys is 4 hrs away. I'm in your situation and I can go to both dune places. Idaho has big big dunes that Glamis can't even hold a candle to. We all know about the ultimate hill in Utah and both place have great bowls. SA is a bigger area then LS, Utah. Glamis was worth going to once, but I won't be going back. Not with what I have in Utah and Idaho.. Forget Dumont and Sand Mtn Nv unless you just want to say you've been there once.. Pics of Idaho in my sig also..

Jerrydlish, check the link in my sig. I have all sorts of info on St. Anthony. Directions, pics, videos, GPS coordinates.... I'll have a lot more this weekend after I put the new pics and videos up. St. Anthony is awesome and the weahter is nice when it's too hot in Utah.

You are close to alot of great dunes, as you already know about little sahara utah, then st. anthony idaho, for something a bit different you can check out coral pink down around kanab utah. Then in the winter you have dumont near baker california, and of course glamis. I want to check out the oregon dunes soon, but not sure when, maybe next year.

My favorites are st. anthony and little sahara utah of the dunes I have been to.

I think dumont and glamis are good for when it is too cold to ride in utah or idaho. Otherwise I agree, the best dunes are st. anthony and little sahara. I like the camping aspect of going out also, and so other areas are fun to camp and explore, like coral pink, the dunes arent that great, but there is lots to do and explore around the area.

Well we only have about 2 and half months left of decent riding. Before the rain starts rolling in... but we have some decent dunes on the coast. In like December or January hit up Glamis in southern California.... Way to hot down there in the summer time to ride.

Wow I thought Glamis was the best... Just to far from Oregon... But Ok...

Posted by: RacinJason

Glamis tops them all...Oregon does have more terrain to choose from...but I'd say its hard to compete with the vastness of Glamis

Posted by: raptor03

Oregon dunes are the best i've ever came across.

Posted by: 250R4LIFE

I've been to glamis & Oregon dunes. glamis doesn't hold a candle to Oregon dunes.

Coos Bay, Winchester Bay, florence. all on the Oregon coast. But if you go there. You better go in
the summer because it rains alot in the winter. And just the opposite in Glamis. It's way to hot
in the summer. But it's just right in the winter. Pismo Dunes are nice all year. But not as good
of a experience as Oregon or glamis.

St. Antony is the city. North Rexburg is the best exit to take. Straight shot to the dunes from there.

You have some great dunes just to the north of you, by St Anthony Idaho.

Hey all-

I live in SLC Utah and have only been to Little Sahara/Sand Mountain in Utah. I would like to visit maybe take some vacations of various dunes out west. If anybody knows of some killer dunes let me know....and if you know how they compare to LS Utah please tell.

Posted by: Jerrydlish

I've heard about St. Anthony....wanna check em out.

Posted by: Jerrydlish

I'm trying to get driving directions to St. Anthony on Map quest...does anybody know if it goes by any other names....or what town it is close to.

Posted by: Jerrydlish

Thanks wyoduner, those dunes in St. Anthony look pretty sick!!

There's a reason why they call it the "Sand Toy Capitol of the World"

North Rexburg exit - 10 miles north. Flashing red light. Another 4 miles north will put you at the Sand Hills Resort. Turn left at the light and 4 miles will put you near the Desert Oasis campground, and the New Egin Lakes access and Campground. A Ranger is stationed there full time and usually helps folks out if they want/need to get even closer to the really big dunes (600ft +).
