This was a pretty nice ride that I did in July 07. It was insanely hot though. If you're going in the summer, go early in the morning and bring a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat. The park has lots of trails, some of which go across the dunes, so there's no shade up there. I wish I could have spent more time there.
There was a small gas station just outside of the park, but avoid it if you can, their prices were pretty high.
