Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Death Valley National Park

Was an awesome hike and would wander through the area again. Highly recommend getting there early to avoid crowds and some of the heat as well as provide better photography opportunities. Not a designated trail but sand dunes to walk as far as you want through. Climbing the steeper dunes and through the sand made it tough but great views and photos. Went in February and still got plenty hot, carry water if you’re going to be out in the sun.

A great experience. Glad we didn't pass this one by. Unique spot in the middle of Death Valley. No place like it. Prepare yourself if you want to hike out to any of the peaks. Sand is really hard to walk in and there aren't really any short cuts. Visited in December and we were still somehow sweating with 70 degree weather. Make sure you bring water and snacks if you're spending time out in the dunes. Some of the sand is magnetic. Make sure you protect your phone and cameras. Bathrooms are available in the parking lot. Plenty of parking space.
