Sand Mountain is, well, huge. At it's base was a small city of R.V. campers and tents. I was told that on any given 3-day weekend, thousands of campers and enthusiast fill the valley. Scurrying through the camp was all sorts of off road vehicles from dune buggy to 4-wheelers to bikes. Shade awnings sheltered tables and chairs where others were relaxing or working on their machines.

I wanted a photo of the view from the top of Sand Mountain so I found a ridge to the left of the face that was covered with brush and rocks. It didn't look too traveled so I thought I could climb without getting run over. It was a bit of a workout but I finally made it to the top. The view was spectacular. It had rained a few days before so the sand was fairly packed.
