Pale dunes and a purple range at Little Sahara

Fig. 1Pale dunes and a purple range at Little Sahara

Landform

Pale dunes of the Sevier Desert against a purple range at last light — not Coral Pink and not the Bonneville flats.

Field note

The sand is cream, not coral. The range goes violet at the hour the dunes take shape. This is Little Sahara north of Delta, not Kanab’s pink dunes and not a salt sea.
