Easter At Little Sahara Recreation Area

By Utah Outdoor Activities

Easter weekend the family, friends and I decided to take a day and go to Jericho Sand Dunes. This was a brave call considering there was expected to be 10,000 + visitors in the park that weekend. Despite the amount of people we managed to get a nice picnic spot at White Sands,  on the north end of the park. We chose White Sands because most of the visitors would be staying at Sand Mountain. Also this is a good place to take the kids as they offer fenced in play areas where no motorized vehicles are allowed. Also the White Sands area is a little less CRAZY then Sand Mountain, for us old people who just want to ride some dunes and go home with all limbs attached.

Upon arriving at Sand Mountain we couldn't help but notice that it looked like the state fair. They had food stands, t-shirt stands, and it was wall to wall people. We were making are way through the horse shoe loop to check out some of the festivities, when all of sudden I felt a small thump come from the back of my four wheeler trailer. Looking in my rear view mirror I didn't see a truck or car behind, so what hit me?  All of sudden up comes this hand waving at me. Someone on a four wheeler ran into the back of my trailer. Not worried about the damage to my trailer I asked the driver if they were ok. They said they were fine, laughed and pulled away. I decided that Sand Mountain was to crazy for me and it was time to go home. Still had a great time and can't wait until next year.
