The Sand Dunes area is one of the older, well known areas for hard core rock crawling.  Some folks from the old school competition crowd may be familiar with this area from the older UROC days. Today, the area has a designated trail route we call “the Gulch.” This difficult trail winds through a tight gulch with several extremely off-camber bends and other spots that could incur minor body damage if you don’t take the turns wide enough.  There are several unnamed waterfall obstacles that take experienced driving capabilities, and often significant throttle control and commitment. Experienced drivers only.
