Discover the Excitement of ORV Excitement on your Idaho Vacation at St. Anthony Sand Dunes

Idaho attraction

Are you someone that is always looking for a new place to go on your Idaho vacation with challenges and yet great fun?  If so you will want to drop in on Saint Anthony Sand Dunes and take your OHV and discover the adventure offered by this huge playground.  There are over ten thousand acres of sand dunes which rise to over 400 feet for you to test your fears on.

If you are not an off road vehicle rider there are still great times available whether it is by climbing or horseback riding among the sand dunes.  There are fifeteen adventureous miles of barren sand for you to enjoy.

White Sands in New Mexico isn’t the only area with the shifting white quartz sand.  St. Anthony Sand Dunes is another one where the sand grows 8 feet each year.

There are camping sites for you to settle in at but be prepared for some rustic camping at many of them.  They are unimproved with out door biffy’s – although there are some that are full service for those that don’t want to go to the extreme.  RV’s are also permitted and there is a unpaved parking area for them with hook ups, even a store of sorts to get you those things that you forgot to pack.


Check out the adventures of Choke Cherry where you will probably have to ride up the back side because the front is too steep for most vehicles.  Then off to Devil’s Dune and Dead Horse Bowl along with a exciting variety of other locations that you will find as you ride the area.  Don’t simply visit at the “main” dunes, explore the less used, and enjoy the spot that is perfect for your desires.

Thunder Mountain is where everyone races so if you are into sport racing this is the place to be.  You probably will want to race to the top and then ride back down because the other side is very steep and not appropriate to racing.

The park is under the control of the Bureau of Land Management. There are laws, like a 5 mph speed limit in the park that must be obeyed so you don’t risk your fellow campers.  If you abuse this you will be asked to leave, and you should be!!

The dunes are located just 50 miles northwest of Idaho Falls, near St. Anthony in the beautiful Eastern area of Idaho, one of the most popular Idaho attractions.  Come and visit and come again and again, you are more than welcome.
