Geocache Description:

Drive south of Mountain Home on ID-51, and turn left (east) on ID-78. (Or, from the east, take the Hammett exit on ID-78). The park entrance is well marked. Park in the visitor center parking lot.

The tallest single-structured sand dune in North America rises high above small lakes in the high desert south of Mountain Home. The state park includes desert, dune, prairie, lake and marsh habitat with opportunities to observe nocturnal species. Activities include fishing, birdwatching, camping, hiking, swimming and viewing the stars at Idaho's only public observatory. Feel free to climb but no vehicles are allowed on the dunes. A visitor center offers information on all birds of prey, insects, fossils, wildlife and sand dunes and gift items for purchase.

To log this cache, please post a picture of yourself/your group at the site with your log and email us the answer to the following question:
How high is the tallest point of the dunes?
