NEW TO DUNING?
Just getting into the sand? Here's everything we wish we'd known on day one — what to build first, the gear you can't ride without, and where the best dunes in the country are waiting.
WHAT I'D PICK FIRST
The order I'd build a UTV in. Safety and traction before power and looks — every time.
Paddle Tires
Hook up in the sand. Without paddles you are just spinning — this is the first thing that actually puts power to the ground.

Safety first. A proper aftermarket cage protects you and your passengers before you ever twist the throttle.
Lights & LED Whips
See and be seen after dark — and stay legal on the dunes. Whips are required everywhere we ride.
Turbo Upgrade
Once you can ride and stop safely, add the power. The IBEXX Duner 2.0 turns the Pro R into a rocket.
Wrap
Make it yours. The graphics are the finishing touch — function first, form last.
WHIP FLAG REQUIREMENTS
Every dune we ride requires a whip flag — no exceptions. Carry your own; do not count on rentals at the gate. All three areas share the same rule:
St. Anthony's
Idaho
Glamis (ISDRA)
California
Little Sahara
Utah
- ▸8 feet minimum height from the ground to the flag
- ▸6" × 12" flag — red or orange only
- ▸St. Anthony's also requires a spark arrestor
OUR FAVORITE DUNES
From Idaho to the Mojave — these are the sand playgrounds we keep coming back to. The gold pins are our home dunes; the rest are absolutely worth the road trip.
St. Anthony's Sand Dunes
Idaho · Home Dunes
Our home dunes in the summer. Towering white sand, technical climbs, and some of the best riding in North America.
Glamis (ISDRA)
California · Home Dunes
The mecca. We ride here every winter — endless dunes, big gatherings, and sand as far as you can see.
Oregon Dunes (Coos Bay)
Oregon
Coastal dunes running right up to the Pacific Ocean. A bucket-list ride with a completely different vibe.
Little Sahara
Utah
Central Utah's sand playground — great for a long weekend with the family.
Sand Hollow
Utah
Red sand and warm water right next door — ride the dunes and swim in the reservoir in one trip.
Dumont Dunes
Nevada
Remote Mojave dunes — quiet, raw, and worth the drive for those who like it off the beaten path.
