I’m 40 something years old and embarrassed to say I didn’t know this existed. I’ll be in the rabbit hole if anyones looking for me.

Seems like a good place for the Dune franchise to film. Desert landscape without desert temps.

Talk about the Athabasca dunes at Brule Ab. The railway had to abandon everything and move north of the river because of them

Okay, this is sand dunes it's not a desert.Y'all do heavy pocket desert.Yes, Canada has a "pocket desert" located in the southern interior of British Columbia. Centered around the town of Osoyoos, the Okanagan Desert is a 15-mile arid expanse that serves as the northernmost tip of the Great Basin Desert ecosystem
