The Coral Pink Sand Dune State Park

Tuesday 9th As we managed an early start from Otter Lake we made good time, still on our back road, only encountering one car on the 50 miles to Bryce Canyon. We passed the entrance to Bryce Canyon and stopped for a coffee/tea, where we managed to catch up on emails. Then we travelled on to Route 89 and headed south again. We were able to get all the way to our most optimistic destination of the day, The Coral Pink Sand Dune State Park Campground. This is a very quiet area of Southern Utah, it is backed by the Vermillion cliffs and is an area of sand dunes which have been created by a wind funnel effect between two sets of mountains. They are very pretty and a sort of orangey pink colour, due to the Najavo Sandstone from which the sand dunes have been derived.
