When we did our last major road trip to the States in 2010,
one of our most memorable stops was White Sands National Monument in New Mexico
where we went sand-sledding. Jaxon still talks about the time Gerry and Muppet
slid down the dunes in the sled together, wiped up royally, and ended up with
sand in both their mouths (especially poor Muppet).
So when we heard you could go sand sledding in Utah at
Corral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, we were ecstatic and added it to our
must-see list. Unfortunately, the sand dunes, while kind of pink and cool,
weren’t nearly as impressive. Also, our sleds kind of sucked. We got a few good
runs in, but it wasn’t nearly as awesome as we hoped. The sand was incredibly
soft though, and we quickly abandoned our sandals and walked barefoot up and
over the dunes in the desert.
The campsite, right in the state park, was large and
gorgeous, with a fabulous view of red rock mountains in the distance, and the
dunes in front. And in the evening, Aiden chopped the firewood for his first
time, Jaxon built the fire, and we roasted marshmallows. Any day that ends
around a campfire is pretty spectacular in my view.
