5 Days in the Desert travelog #12
Kelso, CA - Sun, 25 Dec 2022, 12pm

In my previous blog about hiking Kelso Dunes I expressed our doubt about whether we'd make it all the way to the top. Well, we pushed through. Hawk ultimately did stop a bit short of the top but I went all the way. The top of the tallest dune is 650 feet above the base. Here are a few videos I created, narrating about the dunes, as I started walking the ridge back down.


In these videos (which I narrated live while hiking sand ridges) I mention the tallest dune is 600 feet high. It's actually 650 feet tall. Kelso Dunes are among the tallest sand dunes in North America.
