BRUNEAU DUNES STATE PARK, IDAHO

Bruneau Dunes State Park, located near Mountain Home, is a hidden and unknown gem in Southwestern Idaho. The park contains dunes, desert, marsh, and prairie.


The sands of Bruneau Dunes are a light chocolaty brown and are very soft. Climbing to the top of the dunes was difficult and afterwards my Keens were full of sand.

Above, The tallest dune in the United States...470 feet high.



Bruneau Dunes State Park was dedicated in 1967 and holds 4800 acres of unique landscape.
