Wetlands, Dunes Crest, and Lakes Loop GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Bruneau Dunes State Park has the tallest single-structured sand dune in North America, surrounded by a sandy and flat landscape. At the base of the dune is a picturesque lake and marsh, and hiking to the top of the 470 foot dune is a blast. These dunes are unique because they were formed near the center of the basin and do not shift much due to stable winds from both directions keeping them in check. Definitely a unique excursion to take a break from otherwise flat eastern Idaho.
