Sand Dunes

Located near the small town of Stovepipe, these sand formations are the most famous and easily accessible in Death Valley. You can get to them by Highway 190, or the dirt Sand Dunes Road, which is well signposted. The dunes cover a wide area of about 5 km by 2 km, and are the highest sand dunes on the continent. Take care climbing, it's better to go very early because of the extremely high temperatures.
