They DO sing

Sand dunes winding across the expanse of nothingness is such a quintessential Middle East view in my opinion. We wanted to take Heidi out to see them before she left. Although the singing seemed like a myth, we told her why they were called "The Singing Sand Dunes" with no expectation to hear them, since the past visits yielded no results. Much to our surprise, as Travis was setting up to take a few photos, there was a low rumble. We all wondered what it was, and suddenly realized it was the dunes in face singing. After that, there was an abundance of elation and awe as we spent the remaining daylight sliding down the dunes.

The "Singing" Sand Dunes

We were able to go with a group of "friends" to the Singing Sand Dunes for a Christmas celebration. Although hardly anyone I have met claims to have actually heard the sand dunes sing, they were in full force that night...aided by the ward choir.

Everyone had fun hiking to the top of the dunes

Football & sliding down the face of the dune were favorite activities

(If there had been more light, I would have had more pictures. It was dark at this point, but I was able to catch this one with the flash)

Sand Dunes

There are tons more pictures, but I don't have time to put them up right now. They are all on the external hard drive anyway. While my mom & dad were visiting, we went out to the "Singing Sand Dunes." They weren't "singing" because it had rained the day before and the sand needs to be REALLY dry, but the trip was still fun (other than the "vicious" speed bumps getting there - yes, we were warned, but "vicious" was an understatement).
