Breathtaking pink coral dunes state park-Kanab,Utah

It was a while back when we visited this absolutely beautiful sand dunes park in Kanab UT. It was one of our destinations in our one week long road trip.Small yet amazing, this state park is a destination not to be missed at all. This place is about half an hour drive from Kanab Utah and has breathtaking views of coral pink sand dunes. This was my very first experience to visit sand dunes and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, we spent few hours roaming and renting ATV's to explore the park. The guided tours available at the state park are good options to get in the interiors of the dunes and get views of pink sand and blue sky.

The professional certified guide makes the experience more thrilling as well secure.They usually take you to spots from where views are best and seriously that’s amazing, as far as my eyes could see, it was desert and blue sky. The best part is you can drive the  rented ATV yourself and just follow the guide for directions,stop and click pictures all the way.Its truly a one of a kind experience. Read on to find out where the place is exactly located and what options are there for a stay.
