May
2003 while down in the St George area the family and I decided to
take a day a visit to the new Sand
Hollow Reservoir. Hearing about the 15,000 acre stretch of red sand
dunes, we made sure we had are four wheelers in tow. The dunes are
on the south side of the reservoir. Eventually when construction of
the reservoir is completed, there will be a staging area with restrooms
and day use picnic areas. Other facilities will follow such as
campgrounds, group use areas and even concessions.
But
don't wait for the construction to be completed the lake and dunes
are already accessible with picnic tables and outhouses.
When
you arrive at the dunes don't be deceived by narrow appearance of
the dunes. When you crest the first hill you will discover the dunes
go on and on.

When
riding these dunes be sure to be prepared for the environment. We
found as we crested each hill there was a bigger a better dune
further out. And before you no it, you could be several miles away
from your truck.
After
a hot day on the dunes, we drove the four wheelers down to the lake
for a refreshing swim. Just a added bonus for a great day at Sand
Hollow Reservoir.
