Sandboarding in Washington State

Last Updated on August 28, 2023

Much of Eastern Washington State is a desert, although mostly semi-arid and covered in bushes and vegetation.

There are a few sand dune systems and smaller sand bowls, offering spectacular desert hiking trains and limited opportunities for sand surfing.

The sand dunes in this area are the result of ancient lakes that once covered the region. As the water receded, the sand was left behind and the wind and water have shaped it into the dunes we see today.
