I am going to Moses Lake for the first time next week, and was wondering if I needed to bring my dirt tires. I know that there are sand dunes, but I didn't know if there were also dirt trail amongst the sand.
Thanks!

I've never been there but fromthe pics on the web I've seen of that place it looks like you are better off with your dirt tires. Doesn't look like a lot of sand, no hills and a lot of dirt. That's just what I know from pictures though.

I have been there a handful of times and never took my dirt tires once. Personally I would take my paddles only, JMHO. It's 99%+ dunes, you would have a lot more fun with paddles. Have fun!!

Only bring the dirts if you think you'll break your paddles. It's sand, just a bit dirtier. Remember a few years back when that stupid mountain blew up. It was DIRTY. I might be out there sun?mon. Should I look for you? I'll be riding with Banshee'sand rollin in a 85 subburban. It's pimp.

Thanks guys. I'll just bring my paddles then.
I'll be there on Thursday through Sunday, so I won't see you there. I can't wait to go riding again!! It has been over a month!!
I go to Moses Lake once a month, and I use my sand skates there. If I had haulers I wouldn't use them there because there is a lot of debree in the sand, like glass that might rip of my paddles. If I were you I would first stop at the beverly dunes just past ellensburg, it's tough to be a moses for that long of time.
I have angled paddles, too. Have you ever had any problems with the glass or anything messing up your sand skates? I really can't stop at the beverly dunes because we are going with some other family, and they don't have quads. We weren't really planning on riding all of those days, anyway.
Thanks
Out of my 4-5 years riding there, I have had only one flat tire. You should be fine. Go have fun. Keep an eye on your filter, kinda dusty with that ash.
