Little Medano

Enjoyed hiking here from horse trailer parking lot. Campground is nice and overlooks dunes a little. good water source before reaching the campsite, and there's a second water source a little farther up the trail right under the sand dunes. I enjoyed hiking to the dunes after setting up camp and watching the sun set. Very good stargazing as well. I also enjoyed falling on this spiky grass that impaled my skin

Primitive campground on the backpacking trail along the east and northeast edge of the main Dunefield. A 5 mile hike from the Horse Trailer Lot, the campsite is located in the area between Little Medano and Medano Creeks, near the Medano Pass HCV Road. Reliable water from Medano Creek. This is kind of the middle of the trail, west of Little Medano the trail goes into the Dunefield and becomes much more difficult and hard to navigate.
