First Day Hike at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park

Looking for a beautiful and invigorating way to start the New Year? Kick off 2016 with a family-friendly hike in a Utah State Park near you!

With shifting dunes and adventure in the air, hikers spending their New Year at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park will follow GPS coordinates to ancient Ponderosa Pines growing out of the coral sand.
