Lone Tree Dune | John Dellenback Trail
John Dellenback Dunes Trail is located within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area near Florence, Oregon.
The sand dunes here one of the largest coastal sand dune systems in the world and inspired Frank Herbert to write the science fiction book Dune. Herbert found this and the surrounding areas fascinating. There he studied desert ecology and erosion while Oregon was establishing a way to combat the shifting dune by planting European Beachgrass.
Hiking these dunes was an exhausting but exhilarating experience requiring some astute navigation as a majority of the ”trail” can only be found by wooden markets in the sand, sometimes entirely buried by the dunes.
