Were they talking about North Bend?
As in coastal dunes?

SNDSLGR

North Bend is near coos bay, Houser, Winchester etc... central/southern coast.

Near Bend is Christmas Valley Sand Dunes, I hear they are fun and huge but not in the middle of summer, way too hot! Spring and fall are good times for a trip there.

I go out to xmas valley almost once a month in the summer....Its no hotter then it is in Bend. 80-90 degrees is average. Big dunes, lots of cool places to camp, but Lake County Sheriffs Office and BLM Officers are thick in the summer. If you want more info or have more questions PM me....Good luck

For truly BIG dunes head to St. Anthony near rexburg Idaho Those dunes make banshee hill at winchester bay look like a 2 year olds sand castle

Mr.O

Thanks guys!!
I will go to Christmas valley 1st. It's a lot closer.

Is the sand super soft like the coastal dunes or hard packed?

SNDSLGR

90 is smokin hot in the sand with little shade!

Mr.O

Will you sink up to mid shin if you walk in it?

I have only been to Christmas Valley sand dunes 2 or 3 hundred times in my life I would ride there over any other dunes that I have been to. (never been to Anthony)...Do not go on a holiday weekend....otherwise you will have the place to yourself most of the time. No services for 30 miles so bring everything you need with you. The sand dunes are just like any other place...the floor of the dunes can be hard packed in places. I would suggest paddle tires if you have them.
