d5. The dunes are amazingly stable (exept for top 8 inches), so vegetation can take root. We think of sand dunes as dry desert things, but here the winter snows fill the sand with water. Dunes exist here not because of dryness/heat, but because the mountain range creates a null spot for the winds, sand drops out.
