Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

NPS day-use stop on Lake Mead’s Northshore Road where bright Aztec Sandstone knobs rise from gray limestone country. A short Redstone Dune Loop (~0.5–1.1 mi) circles a freestanding red-rock crag; interpretive signs explain Jurassic dune origins, and the outcrops invite careful scrambling for families.
