We used to hit Walden a lot, but we have started riding Killpecker Dunes in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Way bigger than Walden with a lot better dunes. Walden has become so crowded with nutjobs here in the last few years that we don't go there much.

 

I got a good friend that lives over by killpecker,...they buggy there quite a bit actually. Hopefully someday I'll make it up that way and check them out myself.

Killpecker is an awesome place to ride, I believe I have talked to you about riding at Walden before. If you are in the area, just take the extra 3 hours to go to Killpecker because it is definately worth it. I'm going to be riding Killpecker over the Labor Day weekend, and I'll get lots of pictures. I assume you ride Little Sahara, OK--Killpecker's dunes are quite a bit bigger than LS and there is about 13,000 ridable acres of 43,000 total. It is a challenging place to ride because the wind carves razorbacks all over the dunes. I can't wait for Saturday

Damn, that's a lot of area. I don't think I've ever even heard of that place, and trust me, I'd remember a name like "killpecker". That's like the name of some twisted Tarantino movie.

According to the BLM, it is the largest sand dune system in North America. The dunes that are closed are actually a lot taller than the ones that are legal to ride on. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking as well--wild horses, mountains in the background, and an imposing volcanic spire called Boar's Tusk. Killpecker truly is a hidden treasure, and can provide one of the most thrilling dune rides you will ever experience. The fact that it is such a remote location is a benefit IMO--you can get back in the dunes with your buddies and never see another soul. Even on the busy weekends I would guess there are only 500 or so people there.
