Are you dreaming of Oregon adventures? You can always hike to a waterfall, stroll on a beach to look for treasures, or hop aboard a scenic train, but when was the last time you explored Oregon’s sand dunes? You can take a tour of the dunes in an adventure that will have your family recalling fond memories for years. Take a look:
The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a vast, 31,500-acre stretch of temperate coastal sand dunes. Its beauty is unparalleled, and there are tons of recreation opportunities here.
These dunes, some of which reach an impressive 500 feet tall, are just begging to be explored, and there's one adventure company located in Florence that can take you on the ride of your life to experience them first-hand.
The giant dune buggy tours are perfect for those who prefer a more mild adventure. Guests on this tour will enjoy a full hour riding over eight miles of dunes. You'll learn more about this beautiful recreation area along the way, and even take a quick ride along the beach.
If you feel the need for speed, you'll want the sandrail tour. Choose from a half-hour tour, where you'll cruise along across 10 miles of dunes, or take the longer one-hour tour to speed up and down 19 miles of dunes and a mile of beach.
There's nothing in the world quite like zipping along across the sandy landscape with the wind in your face. Pull on a pair of goggles and get ready to ride!
The sand dune season runs from March through December, with a break during January and February. Sandland Adventure is slated to start offering its tours again soon!
