When do the big dunes reopen?

The big dunes west of Egin Lakes generally reopen at sunrise April 1, subject to the current BLM order.

Why is May 1 also important?

The larger surrounding winter-range closure generally remains in place through sunrise May 1. The two dates do not open the same terrain.
