Many people identify the typical desert as a vast area covered by sand dunes. That may be true in some parts of the world but in the Mojave, less than one percent of the desert is covered with sand dunes. In order for sand dunes to exist there has to be a source of sand. Also there needs to be winds to move the sands and a place for the sand to collect. The eroded canyons and washes of Death Valley National Park in California provide plenty of sand. The wind seems to blow frequently here, especially in the springtime, and there are a few areas where the sand is trapped by geographic features such as mountains. Mesquite Flats near Stovepipe Wells is one such place. This sunset picture of the sand dunes and the Grapevine Mountains was taken after a winter storm had passed.

Salt basin dunes are made of Gypsum grains which are bright-white dunes in the western part of Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The dunes cover 2,000 acres and vary in size from three feet on the southern part to sixty feet in the northern part of the dune field which contains very little vegetation. Guadalupe Mountains present a very dramatic backdrop to the gypsum dune field.
