Goast Trees

As the dunes advanced, they buried the forest leaving the tops of dead trees protruding out of the surface of the sand. In time the blowing sand will sculpt them and eventually they will be reduced to sawdust. A hike around this area reveals trees in all stages of being destroyed by the blowing sand.
