ATVs at the Sand Dunes

So you’ve seen the awesomeness that is the dunes. You’ve toasted s’mores, you’ve seen the meteor showers, and you’ve even just about broken your neck snowboarding down the sand.

It’s time to take it to the next level.

If clips from Napoleon Dynamite haven’t scared you off, ATVs let you go over ground that would doom a car to rusting in a sand pit. You can rent ATVs from several places near the sand dunes.

The first is from http://www.duneexcursions.com/. Their prices range from $30-$40 an hour, though there are discounts for half-day and whole-day pricing.

The second is from http://www.pmspolaris.com/dunerentals.htm. Funny name notwithstanding, you can buy (or rent) helmets, gloves, and goggles for decent prices. They rent ATVs for anywhere between $35-$105 an hour (Depending on the model)


As for where to go ATVing, Cherry Choke, Devil’s Dune, and the Dead Horse Bowl make for some great deep dune excursions.
