Dand Dunes

North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras

National Parks, Ocean, Wildlife

I had never been to the coast of Carolina but Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a thin strip of land, made up mostly of sand dunes, beaches and ocean waves. November seems like a good time to visit since there were few tourists and I had long stretches of beach to myself.

Sand Dunes and Ocean Waves make up the scene at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina.

Ripples in the sand and ripples in the sky.

It is one long straight highway, stretching about 60 miles.

Death Valley’s Remote Eureka Dunes

California, Desert Southwest, National Parks

After my visit to Racetrack Playa, I motored over more rough roads for 45 miles to Eureka Dunes. It’s in a remote part of Death Valley National Park so not many people go there. The dunes are 700 feet tall, amongst the tallest in North America. Low hanging clouds, a few sprinkles and a beautiful rainbow made for good photos.
