yes i would like to know some info on this also. were thinking about planning a trip there

I live about 2 hours from Xmas valley. I ride there about 2 or 3 times a month. Dunes are spread out over 11,000 acres. They consist of alot of low dunes and the highest is about 60-80 feet. Between the dunes are low spots, kind of hardpan and sage brush. I use sand stars for paddles out there. Go on week days and you can have the place to yourself. Right next to the dunes is a place called Lost Forest. (apprx 8,000 acres) Kind of pines forest out in the middle of nowhere. They have portable toilets set up in a couple of places. No camping services, just dry camping. The road out there is alot of washboards, but usually in good shape. Hope to see you out there sometime.

thanks schmidtty, thats the best info i have gotten so far, and i will see you out there pretty soon i promise, but as far as hill climbs or jumps that is not the best place to go then huh......

They have alot of jumps. They are every where. Hill climbs are a different story. The highest one is about 80 feet high. Whole lot of fun but you could climb it with an old blaster. There are some steep ones that you can not hit hard at the base or you bottom out. I have a 2006 450er and it will climb them all. You can see antelope running across the dunes, not something you see everyday. Have fun and see you out there.
