ATV riding at Coral Pink Sand Dunes: UTV and sandboarding
You drive the UTV, you ride the dunes, you control the pace
ATV riding at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park puts you behind the wheel of a UTV to navigate the dunes, visit Coral Pink Slot Canyon (known as "Bigfoot's Hideout"), and sandboard down Star Dune. The activity runs 2 hours with a live guide, UTV rental, bottled water and sandboards included. You must be 21+ with a valid driver's license to operate the UTV; solo riders share a vehicle with the guide.
The Experience
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park opens with a fast-paced run through the dunes on your own UTV—the operator mentions a brief stop to look for the legendary "Sandsquatch" (Bigfoot), though sightings are rare. From there, a short 5-minute walk leads to Coral Pink Slot Canyon, also called "Bigfoot's Hideout," where you explore a moderate two-part canyon for roughly 20 minutes. The terrain is navigable for most ages and fitness levels, and the guide moves the group at a steady clip.
The final leg takes you to Star Dune, one of the largest in the park, where sandboarding is the main event. You can stand or sit on the sleds as you ride down the slopes—the operator frames this as the adrenaline part of the day. The whole experience is designed to feel fast-paced and playful rather than technical, and the guide keeps things moving so the 2-hour window covers all three stops without lingering.
What’s included
- UTV rental for 2 hours.
- live guide in English.
- bottled water.
- sandboards for the Star Dune run.

Is this one for you?The pace is fast—you move through three stops in 2 hours with minimal downtime—so this suits riders who want to cover ground and try multiple things rather than linger in one place. The UTV driving requires a valid license and comfort operating the vehicle, but the sandboarding and slot canyon walk are open to most ages and abilities.
