The landlocked state of Wyoming won’t strike you as a surfer’s paradise, but it it is home to some out-of-this-world desert landscapes and sand dune stystems, including some frábærir staðir fyrir sandbretti.
Þó ekki sé mjög bratt, the Killpecker dunes in the Red Desert north of Rock Springs makes for the largest dune field in North America, og eru einn af aðeins sjö hópum syngjandi sandar þú getur fundið í heiminum.
Killpecker Sand Dunes - Rock Springs, Sweetwater County
The Killpecker sandöldur eru staðsettir aðeins nokkrum kílómetrum norður af Rock Springs, inn Wyoming’s Red Desert.
The dunes are located in a remote, arid area of the state, and they are known for their tall, steep slopes and challenging terrain.
Staðurinn er risastór og hefur nóg af blettum sem eru opnir fyrir bæði sandbretti og sandskít (utanvegaakstur), en gæta þess að forðast gróin svæði til að trufla ekki staðbundið dýralíf.
Besta staðsetningin fyrir sandbretti á Killpecker Sand Dunes er Open Play Area Tjaldsvæðið, þar sem eingöngu óvélknúin afþreying er leyfð. Þar er einnig hægt að stunda gönguferðir og hestaferðir.
PS. Komdu með þitt eigið sandbretti!

Syngjandi sandöldur
The Killpecker Sand Dunes eru ein af þeim fáir sjaldgæfir „syngjandi“ eða „uppsveifla“ sandhólar í Bandaríkjunum, a type of sand dune that makes a singing or humming noise when the sand is moved or shifted by wind or other forces.
This phenomenon is caused by the movement of sand particles rubbing against each other, which creates a vibrating sound that can be heard from a distance.
