    • That evening I found that I had a pretty bad sunburn UNDER my chin. The white sand will reflect the beams of the sun, hence you get sunburnt in places you thought were in the shade.

    • Take the Heart of Sands Loop Drive (26 km) which will take you right into the dunes.
    I was told they use snow ploughs to clear the track.

    • The plants struggle hard to survive. The area is very dry, with only about 200 mm precipitation p.a..

    • Note how the Yucca seem to grow from little mounds within the dunes.

    • Actually, the Yucca - and other plants as well - grow with the height of the dunes. Their roots reach far down to find water. At the same time, the roots catch the sand and hold it. Even when the dunes move, the Yucca will still stand, and if sand covers it, it will grow towards the light.

    • Summer brings thunderstorms to the area, and the water will remain for a few hours, forming a little lake.

    • Wander off into the dune fields - but make sure you know the direction back to your car! It is easy to lose oneīs way in here.

    • In August, temperatures may well reach up to 40 °C during the day. Still, the sand is wonderfully cool. Walk with your bare feet, it is a great feeling.
