Bruneau Dunes State Park, Bruneau

Been there two different times. I still find it amazing how all the sand got here. (I have a couple photos of the signs that talk about it) Climbed one of the hills the first time we went and caught an epic sunset. (Check out the photos) Then checked out the water with my kids the next time we were in the area. Be careful when it's hot out the sand in very hot. There are warning signs about it. It would be amazing to see the stars here on a clear night. Please pick up trash if you see it and leave it better than you came. Help preserve these places for future generations.

Did I know Idaho had sand dunes? Nope. Did anyone know they had dunes? Probably not. Let me tell you though… they were insanely amazing! I hiked one of the smaller ones, and I thought I was in decent shape,but the dune proved otherwise. It’s October so it was a little chilly and VERY windy. I was afraid if I climbed a bigger one, I would have been blown all the way back to the East coast. As amazing as the dunes were, the surrounding trails and lake offered even more breathtaking views. I saw a lot of ducks, geese, birds and flowers. I was in total awe of the whole experience. Idaho has definitely proved its more than just a flyover state. Can’t wait to come back and explore it more during a different time of year!
