ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Los Medanos, the Samalayuca Dune Fields

Los Medanos and the Samalayuca Dune Fields are places with lots and lots of sand. Do you know what sand is? It's like tiny rocks that are all mixed together.

Now, imagine a really big area where the ground is covered in sand. That's what Los Medanos and the Samalayuca Dune Fields are like. But instead of just being flat, the sand is all piled up in hills and valleys like a big sandy roller coaster.

People like to go to these places to play and explore on the sand. They can climb up the hills and slide down them, just like on a real roller coaster! Plus, because the sand is always moving and changing, it's always a new adventure.

But it's important to be safe in these places because the sand can be very hot and there aren't always places to get water. So people need to be careful and bring things like hats, sunscreen, and water bottles to stay safe while having fun in the sandy dunes of Los Medanos and the Samalayuca Dune Fields.
