Rio Salado Sand Dunes
Sand blown northeasterly from the normally dry bed of the Rio Salado forms dunes along this part of Rio Grande Valley.
The Rio Grande is in a deep down-dropped trench with uplifted Los Pinos Mountains to east and the Ladron Mountains to northwest.
Rocks on the crest of the Ladrons are 4 miles deep below the sand dunes.
