Thanks for sharing. Looks like you are having some fun, besides some beautiful views. It sure beats walking up them LOL, and yes the video doesn't do the hill or incline justice.

Nice see all the flags on those vehicles. Some don’t and wonder why they get run into.

This is the first hill at silver lake sand dunes. Test hill. The video as usual doesn’t show just how big and steep it is.
Oh snap! When I started the video and I saw the whoops at the bottom and the incline, I was like oh sh*t this is a video of a Can-Am maverick, not a Ford Maverick..... Until I remembered that the link I was following came from the Ford Maverick forum. Wow. That is very impressive. I've been in the sand enough, with enough vehicles, different tire combos and different air pressures to know any stock vehicle, short of a Wrangler Rubicon would make it up that. The one caveat is that you can see some wet sand right under the surface, which would help things out immensely. In pure, dry, fluffy sand, it would be twice as hard.

Your location tag says mid-coast Oregon. Where do you see people without flags? Flag laws have been in effect in the Oregon dunes since I was a kid in the 70's.

Laws are one thing compliance is another. Horse fall area is short to town run so those that want a quick sand dune run wi,, go there. Without flags.
