Location: |
20 kms east and 4 kms north of Liebenthal. |
It is 1900 square kilometres of active dunes, high stable dunes and sand flats which together make up the Great Sand Hills.
|
The Great Sand Hills are in fact the remains of a delta from an ancient glacier river.
|
Most are stable dunes covered with sage brush, natural prairie grasses and other plants.
|
You may be able to see mule deer and antelope at the edge of the grassland along the sand hills.
|
The active dunes comprise only a small portion of the vast land tract, but the view they provide is absolutely dazzling.
