The dunes are definitely worth the long and bumpy drive to get to them. HUGE dunes in the midst of the mountains, some of them are so tall and steep you have to climb up on your hand and knees. Beautiful and peaceful place, but it is difficult to get to.

Another beautiful natural creation!! The sand is soft and just breathtaking!! Would not recommend going in summer!!

This was by far my favorite stop of my trip to Death Valley (note: I was only there a day and probably saw half the sites so anxious to go back another time to see them all and do some hiking when weather is warmer). This was the last stop before leaving for the day and it was simply incredible. Now true it's lots and lots of sand, so you don't get the mountain range views, but something about the sand, the movement of the sand with the winds, and just the tranquility of it all was nothing less than stellar. If I had planned ahead and saved room on my camera I would have taken a lot more pics, but the ones I took I love. If you go to Death Valley and have only one day, I would strongly recommend you check it out!

great sunsets. you have to walk out a little over a quarter of a mile to get smooth sand without any foot prints. although sunrise on the dunes is amazing and the wind has erased the footprints closer to the parking lot.

Loved them all. Bring good hiking boots,lots of water and your camera. If your in the desert you have to hike the dunes.

Since I just purchased a new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, we had to take a photography trip to Death Valley. Last time I wasn't able to see the Racetrack with my Subaru Forester, so this time there were no roads that could stop the Jeep.We woke up at 3am, drove from Furnace Creek Ranch to Eureka Dunes to shoot sunrise at the dunes. It was a long drive, 1 hour to the start of the dirt road, then another 1.5 hours on mostly level dirt roads, with a little bit of paved road near the end. I was able to go pretty fast on the flat parts, but watch out for the ruts caused by water crossing the road. There's one section with about 10 washed out areas and we hit the first one at 40mph. It woke up my passenger and he thought we crashed it was so loud, but the Jeep was fine, thanks to the big tires. Needless to say for the next few miles I went slower, had to hit the brakes hard a couple times to avoid hitting the ditches too fast.But once we made it to the dunes, it was an amazing sight, they're huge! The sun was just starting to rise, we had to quickly find our spot for our first shot of the day. It's not easy climbing the high dunes, but we just took our time, got to the top of the 2nd and 3rd highest dunes and spent about an hour shooting. If you hike further from the highest dunes, there's a bunch of lower dunes with very nice shapes. We decided to stay where we were, and shot until the light wasn't any good anymore.Everyone in our group had a great time and said it was the highlight of our trip, and we did see a lot of the park in 3 days. We were the only ones there, where else can you shoot amazing dunes like that and be all alone?

If you've never seen sand dunes then go and check it out. Or if outré traveling with kids its a good place to let them runoff energy. If you've seen dunes before it's probably a good place to drive by or as we did picnic and enjoy the vista.

This dunes are the highest in California at 700'. You will want to rent a jeep for the drive and unless you drive quickly, it will be rough, but we were the only people there and it was very special.

AlI the great things other reviewers have said are true, so no need to repeat. I'm writing this to point out something important. I have been to Death Valley many times, but never north of the crater until last trip. I finally kept driving north, past Ubehebe crater, and to Eureka Dunes. On the way, there is a sort of interesting partial ruins of what seems to be a sulfur mine. Once you get near the dunes, I should warn those of you reading this, the road goes from being a paved road, to a dirt road that you turn off onto. The dirt road is not too rough, but the thing is that there is something causing a lot of flat tires. I believe it is little bits of volcanic rock or something. I got a flat tire on the way to the dunes, and then when I got there, another camper helped me change my tire, but he said he also got a flat. After camping out at the dunes, we left and got another flat on the way out on the same dirt road. And, as other reviews on tripadvisor say, other people got flats too. Luckily I had both fix-a-flat and a portable car charger air pump, so I was able to have both tires temporarily patched up enough to make it to Big Trees, which is the closest town a bit further down the paved road. I got the tires fixed at an auto shop, and then drove back into Death Valley to the racetrack playa, which is also very cool. Overall, Eureka Dunes is awesome, but that road definitely is a flat tire possibility.

These dunes are spectacular and high. That being said, they are also hard to get to and not often visited. Unlike the dunes down by Stovepipe Well (which are also excellent by the way) you can visit Eureka and have it to yourself. I STRONGLY suggest you check with the rangers first before venturing out there.

A long drive to the dunes with several interesting places to stop...Crankshaft Crossing, a mining area, and the dunes. You can hear a humming sound as the sand avalanches...interesting. The road is a long gravel road.

Really neat place to take picture at dusk. There are lots of dead trees making the landscape look surreal. The children were sliding down the dunes on sleds. Kinda cool.

It's a long way to go to just look. If you are planning on climbing dune it is totally worth going. Such an unusual sight. A huge sand dune hidden among mountains. Be warned the road is not friendly to the family mini van...we got a flat tire 3/4 of the way out....hobbled back to town and the next day went out with a jeep rental..HUGE difference and great experience!

We passed by this beautiful area of sand when driving through Death Valley. It was really something to see after a bunch of typical desert scenes. We stopped at the small market before you hit the sand dunes and I suggest grabbing some cold drinks if you plan to hike out there. Also bring comfortable shoes because it's a bit of a walk.

Far away from the crowds sits this island of beauty. Some 700 feet high and beautiful white sand. The walk up to the top is difficult at times, but when you get to the top and sit on the crest you will be in awe.If taking pictures plan to hike up a couple of hours before sunset (depending on time of year). In March we hiked up some 3 hours before sunset. From the top you can take some great photos of the sun/shade sides of the dunes.If you are coming from Furnace Creek a full day would be Scotty's Castle, Ubehebe Crater and then on to Eureka Dunes. The drive from Ubehebe is on mostly dirt road in good condition and takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
