Landform
An active dune field in the Red Desert — living sand on a high sage basin.
Field note
This is not a beach. The Killpecker field walks. From above the sand is a pale sea on brown ground. The Wind Rivers stand far off.
Killpecker is an active dune field in Wyoming’s Red Desert: living sand walking across a high sage basin, with the Wind Rivers far off. This is not a beach, not Great Sand Dunes in Colorado, and not a fixed hill of grass.
