Hike Wetlands, Dunes Crest, and Lakes Loop Bruneau Dunes State Park, ID

Threat to Our Public Land!

Recent proposals could transfer or sell off national forests, BLM land, and wilderness areas. This threatens the trails, wildlife, and access we all love. Once they're gone, we don't get them back.

The push to sell off public lands is being driven mostly by Republicans. What's frustrating is that many who vote for this party still love hiking, hunting, and exploring. If you keep voting for politicians who promise to "cut red tape" and "shrink government," don't be surprised when your favorite trailhead is fenced off and leased to a mining company.

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.
