What people say

"MUST NOT MISS! This is not a trail per se. Like Badwater Basin, you walk into the dunes as far as you want to go and then back to the car. If you are really ambitious and have quads of steel, head to the peak of High Dunes which is 1 mile (one way) from the parking lot. Come prepared with lots of water and be ready to feel the burn (in your legs). "
Kathryn Bennett
"I’d suggest visiting at sunset! The golden light reflects against the dunes and it’s incredible! Just make sure not to hike too deep into the dunes so that you have to hike out after dark 😬"
Katie Howerton
"Suggestion from The Discoverer. A full 6.5h drive from Yosemite."
