You know to how to show this Jeep girl LOVE!
I also think with State Parks you have to visit the visitors center and fill out a form. We wanted to concentrate on camping and sand sledding!
https://visitidaho.org/things-to-do/state-parks/bruneau-dunes/ please check this site before going. Many restrictions are in place during the uncertain times! Their guidelines have change even since we visited.
Bruneau Dunes State Park is home to the tallest freestanding sand dunes in North America, with the highest reaching 470 feet. Hike the surrounding trails, climb the dunes and rent a sandboard for quick trip down. Families enjoy camping, fishing in the small lake and watching the night sky at Idaho’s only public observatory located right in the park.
THINGS TO KNOW
- The entrance fee to all of Idaho’s State Parks is $5.00 per car, with additional fees for camping.
- Check the Park's calendar for star parties and other guided activities.
- Reservations for stays (campsites, cabins, etc.) within Idaho's State Parks can be made toll-free by phone at: 1-888-922-6743 or online.
- Pets are welcome in most Idaho State Parks, but some parks prohibit them in some cabins and yurts and they are prohibited from beaches.
- Pets must be kept on a leash no longer than 6-feet or confined to a camper.
- Please don't pick the flowers! Wildlife and vegetation are protected in all Idaho State Parks.

I did manage to catch a few pictures!
Always make sure to pay attention to all signs and obey in state parks!
This is a another dune that we didnt manage to get to this adventure!
Beautiful huh! Looks so fun!
Rented some Sand sleds....1st thing before you sled?
WAX, WAX, WAX, and when you think you haven't waxed enough?
WAX more I tell you! You will THANK me!
Seriously, the sleds are older than dirt and I think every wax possible,
you need it slicker than slick to go down and when the sand is at its peak hot temperatures,
you need to wax every single time again! Your welcome!

**Please note: The Observatory Nights only occur on Friday and Saturday evenings (with the exception of 3-day holiday weekends). Observatory season occurs late March to early October and is weather-permitting.
*Be advised that park staff will halt sandboard rentals when the air temperature reaches 80 degrees as sand temperatures are much hotter and pose a risk for burns.
