Top of Kelso Dunes or bust!

Spent several days here with my puppy Boomerz just beyond the dispersed campground area under one of the big power towers. Super flat and nice and quiet. The star gazing is amazing. No city lights. Lots of Cactus and maybe a Desert Tortoise sighting. The Kelso dunes are no joke. 600’ climb in elevation in deeeeeeeep sand that’s been accumulating for 25k years. It’s breath taking literally once your their. But go prepared with water and salty snacks to help with the sweat loss. If you have kids think worlds tallest sand slide and take a sled of some sorts. Research it. Be safe. Be prepared and take extra extra extra. No services anywhere within 100 miles. You’ll see.
