“If you have time while visiting Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP, you have to do this! - When I was booking my road trip, I had looked into a UTV ride, but gave up on the thought because I didn’t think I could fit it in my schedule. I stopped to visit Coral Pink Sand Dunes state park and stumbled on the outfitter right there! I signed up on the spot and was able to ride with the guide since I was a solo. There were 2 other parties in our group and they were driving behind us. I wish I could remember the guide’s name, but he was super nice and informative. We rode all over the park and then stopped at the top of a canyon. We headed on foot down the slot canyon wall and he showed us how to “scramble” which was different but pretty fun. I was a little nervous, but the guide was super helpful and patient with everyone. We hiked back out of the canyon and you could then go sand boarding. Unfortunately, I had limited time and had to forgo that part of the experience. This was so much fun and I am so glad I did it!”
