Scenic View/Photo Spot

We’ve reached the end of the Backcountry Camping Loop Trail self-guided tour. At this stop, feel free to climb to the top of the tallest dune near to you and soak up the view. What can you see? Maybe you’re watching the sun set behind the mountains, or maybe you’ve got sled in hand and are just beginning your adventures.

Whether you’re just starting your day or are heading home, the time you spend here will stay with you forever. With your help, and by continuing to recreate responsibly on your public lands, these wild spaces will be around forever, too.

Take as much time as you’d like to enjoy the view. When you’re done, you can either follow the trail back towards the trailhead, or explore another part of the Backcountry Camping Loop.
