Hardy Box Canyon Springs Nature Preserve.

To the west of Buhl is the Bruneau Dunes State Park, a 4,800-acre protected area that is home to the highest single-structured sand dune in North America.

Stop in at the visitor center where the preserve’s geology is showcased, then follow one of the hiking trails to witness the lava flows, cinder cones, and lava tube caves.
