It's not a bad place but it's very, very small compared to the Oregon Dunes. If you ride the other dunes regularly you may get bored at Sandlake quickly.

Being relatively close to the Portland Metro area it gets very crowded on the weekends. During the week it's not so bad.

A positive note, there aren't any whoops you have to go through:D and the 'one-way' trail is alot of fun if noone's going the wrong way:ermm:

I get boared after an hour there, you can ride from one end to the other after about 8 minutes it seems like, but it is close to Portland and it is sure better than sitting at home.

ya ive been to christmas valley twice. just for the day tho. its not bad, but everyday ive been there its been 100+ degrees. that kinda sucked. as far as i can remember the dunes were pretty big and you are out in the middle of nowhere, so if you need something be prepared to do a lil driving. If it were up to me id rather go to the coast, but still christmas valley is fun.

about the only fun thing to do at sandlake is ride the tree shots. theres acouple hard ones, especially when the sand is really soft.
