Will keep in mind. I think that weekend is one of the spring break weekends for kids & teachers up here. We ran out there for the day last Saturday. Some weird dune formations in some areas (be careful) and some wet / firm sand on the ridges. The back side was SWEET!

These are really cool pics! I really like the second one. We are always looking for new ways to capture pics for our FB ATV and UTV riding group. This is a good idea to update our cover photo. Thanks for sharing!

I'll have to watch for some rides later on towards May , I should be healed up by then.
Going under the knife tomorrow to have hardware removed from an earlier back surgery fusion.. Hoping by having the hardware removed will give some pain relief....

Have been to SM many times , but never on any of the trails the group goes on...

Looks like everybody is having fun there !
But I gotta ask..

I know this is probably the wrong thread to post this in , but since its the Sand Mountain thread .
What sand tires is everybody running there ?
I'll only be going to SM for dunning , if and when I'll go up to the Oregon dunes I'll run my stock tires since will camp and ride out to the dunes.

I have a 2016 XP1k all stock with very little accessories added (light bar and roof). Not loaded down with winch ,bumpers etc.

Not a want to be first up the hill or fast , just feel like I'm missing out on Not running paddles...

Appreciate any comments on who's running what...

Since we seem to ride in the desert around sand mountain as much or more than the dunes itself, you are better off just using the stock bighorns. Otherwise you are constantly changing wheel and tires or choosing not to go on rides because you have the wrong tires on your rzr.

For the most part stock bighorns do great at sand mountain just lower the air to 6lbs .

Barb, since I got my tensors, I was wondering what they were like in the sand. My stock rims have paddles on them, so I have been wondering what to do at sand mountain so I don't have to constantly change wheels and tires.
