mesquite flat sand dunes, death valley national park, california
The most accessible and visited sand dunes in Death Valley are the Mesquite Flat Sand dunes. These dunes formed less then 10,0000 years ago when Ice Age Lake Manly dried up. The dunes result from eroded sand from nearby canyons and washes being moved by the wind and trapped by the nearby Grapevine and Cottonwood Mountains.
