Bruneau Dunes State Park

Located in Owyhee County in southwest Idaho, Bruneau Dunes State Park is a public leisure and geological preservation area in the western United States. It lies fifteen miles (25 km) south of Mountain Home and northeast of Bruneau.

The state park is home to North America's highest single-structured sand dune, which is around 470 feet (140 m) tall. It also has other enormous sand dunes and little lakes. The 4,800-acre (7.5 square mile; 19 km2) park has the Bruneau Dunes Observatory, where guests may see the stars through a telescope.

The Idaho state park also offers other activities including camping, hiking, birding, fishing, and swimming. Additionally, remember that The Bruneau Dunes Observatory Complex, one of two public observatories in Idaho, is home to a 25" telescope if you want to do some stargazing. The state park features habitats in the desert, dunes, prairie, lake, and marsh. The fauna of the desert is well-represented, along with raptors and ducks.
