Sand Hollow for Wimps 3.0: Our Wildest Jeep Drive Yet

Keith and I were excited to visit Sand Hollow State Park and above all, more excited to drive the jeep on the dunes. However, we don’t have any experience driving on sand therefore when Keith came across this drive named Sand Hollow for Wimps 3.0 it was the perfect combination of getting us out there while hoping we weren’t getting in over our heads. Once again we used Jeep the USA website for information and mapping.

It should be noted that there are two areas to this state park. On this day we were visiting Sand Mountain, the OHV area. On another day we visited the reservoir part of the park. There will be a separate post about that area in the future.

Our experience driving this route

We absolutely loved our experience driving the Sand Hollow For Wimps 3.0 trail! Jeep the USA once again provided us with the information we needed to make a smart choice for us based on our vehicle, driving experience, and expectations for the day. Subsequently, we were able to expand our jeeping skills by driving on sand roads, sand dunes, steep rock climbs, narrow obstacles, and more. There were some amazing sites to see along the way; places to stop, explore and enjoy the view.
