The Juniper Dunes Wilderness is a desert area of sand dunes and juniper trees. 9 members of the Fun, FIt and Over Fifty Club from the Tri-Cities did this hike. We hiked the north-east half passing by small groups of juniper trees and getting to the top of 15 dunes. The day was a little windy and overcast but not bad for hiking. We saw signs of deer and coyote. Yellow bells, sand dock, balsam root, larkspur and wallflower were the most plentiful flowers in bloom although it is not the peak yet. We did about 8 miles in 6 hours.
