Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park – Utah State Parks is located between Mount Carmel Junction and Kanab which is south and west of the U.S. Highway 89 in southwestern Utah. The park is scenic with warm pink sand dunes and it is about a 30 mile drive from Zion National Park.
During the last week of September 2014, on our way back from Zion (National Park Service), Utah we stopped for a couple of hours at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.
