Description

The Sunset Stroll is a leisurely, ranger-guided stroll through the gypsum sand dunes. It is a splendid opportunity to experience the dunes first-hand while learning about the uniqueness of our geology, plants, and animals. As an added bonus, the stroll is timed to end at sunset, providing a panoramic view of the sun setting over the mountains and the potential for some breath-taking photographic opportunities.

The sunset stroll is an easy to moderate hike. The hike is approximately one half mile (0.8 km) in length, and it is conducted at a leisurely pace with stops along the path. The stroll requires climbing moderate dunes.

Programs are subject to cancellation due to public health, weather, or missile range activities.
