 Who says it never rains in the desert!  
panorama Sunrise on the sand dunes is always a special time. A close look reveals the tracks of numerous insects and other animals scurrying about while it is still cool. It is the ideal time to hike the dunes. As the temperature rises the wildlife retreats to the cool shade of the plants,or underneath the sand.
