Posted on August 9, 2014

St. Anthony Sand Dunes
Labor Day Weekend 2014

The Idaho Dunes UTV Invasion is set for Labor Day Weekend 2014. This UTV event is being organized by Jon Crowley of UTVGuide.net and Dave Kuskie at Fullerton Sand Sports and will be based at Idaho Dunes RV. The goal of the weekend is to take have UTVs dominate the dunes for the weekend, while showing off our customized rides, see who can make it up Choke Cherry, and how big of a convoy Dave Kuskie can lead through the huge bowls.

This casual gathering is open to industry, enthusiasts and media.

Idaho Dunes RV has reserved a block of full-hookup RV sites for the event, but also have 25 acres of dry camp area if you’d prefer to circle your wagons. TheSt. Anthony Sand Dunes Recreation Area contains over 10,000 acres of massive contiguous sand dunes and is widely known for offering the largest bowls and smoothest free riding area in the country.

Along with Jon Crowley of UTVGuide.net, Neal Rideout ofNeal Rideout Photography will be at Idaho Dunes RV to help photograph to action.

The St. Anthony Sand Dunes are home to huge bowls and steep hill climbs
