Don't like water? Hate cold weather? Still love extreme sports? Welcome to Monahans Sand Dunes. Sand surfing, sand boarding, and sand sledding rule. It's just you, gravity, and some great sand dunes.
Everything is bigger in Texas, including this adult-sized sandbox. Dunes reach up to 70 feet high, while the park covers nearly 4,000 acres. Jog to the top before surfing, boarding, or sledding your way down.
You could even sculpt an obstacle course and some jumps if you really want to get creative. Bring your video camera and make your friends jealous. Even better, launch your drone to follow your path down the hill. Rent sand disks from the park headquarters if you forgot your board. There's also an 800-acre equestrian area for you and your steed to explore.

The best time to visit Monahans Sandhills State Park is from March to August, when the park's full splendor is on display. However, be mindful of the intense summer heat. The cooler months offer a more comfortable visit, though the park's beauty is year-round.
