The Eureka Dunes looks like piddling sand heaps in this context, but they are the largest in North America, at 700 feet in elevation.
As seen from a sweaty overlook to the west, they don’t look like much, but climbing the Eureka Dunes is no mean feat: two steps forward as the sand slides back down for 700 vertical feet. Under the right moisture conditions, the “singing sands” might be heard.
