Coral Pink Sand Dunes:
Established as a Park in 1963, the Coral Pink Sand Dunes offers an alternative to the National Parks and Monuments of the area. The turn-off to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is only three miles from Mt. Carmel Jct. (The Jct. of Scenic Byway 9 & 89) and then 8 more miles to the gate.

The Coral Pink Color is from eroded Sandstone:
The park is a 3,730 acre sand box to play. The elevation is 6,000 feet. The sand is a beautiful coral color, supplied courtesy of ancient Navajo Sandstone. The dunes formed along the 200 mile long Sevier Fault.
