Why is the area called Sand Flats when it's neither flat nor particularly sandy? It's more like Rocky Bumps.

[@finleyholiday]

I believe the name comes from all the way back in the horse- pulled wagon days when Sand Flats Road was the main route between Moab and Castle Valley. The path was often covered with windblown sand, thus the name Sand Flats. After all, the whole Moab area is Navajo sandstone and if you spend any time here on a windy day, you will wind up with sand in your teeth.
