  • Love the footsteps in the otherwise undisturbed sand.  Beautiful, stark scene.

Description:

Big Dunes in the Amargosa Desert, Nye County Nevada are located off of Highway 95 between Las Vegas and Beatty.  The turnoff from Highway 95 is well marked and there is a high speed (50 mph) gravel road that leads within one-half mile of the dunes.  Soft sand roads lead to the base of the dunes.  My footprints show the trail I traced along the ridge.  Supposedly the Amargosa Big Dunes are one of the few "singing dunes" in the world that emit an audible sound during sandstorms.   While that would be way cool to hear and share with my BT friends, I really don't want to be out there during a sandstorm, thank you.
