The Coral Pink Sand
Dunes are located about 27 miles northwest of Kanab, Utah. The area is a rather distinct
ecosystem, the main feature of which is large, active sand dunes formed by wind erosion
breaking down surrounding Navajo Sandstone. The distinctive dune color originates from the
presence of iron oxide in the sand. The entire Coral Pink Sand Dune area is approximately
3,500 acres. The northern part of the dunes (approximately 1,500 acres) is managed by the
BLM and is included in the Moquith Mountain WSA. The southern portion (approximately 2,000
acres) is located in the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.
