Overlook, Jockey’s Ridge, Nag’s Head, NC.

Posted here are a few images from Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nag's Head on the outer banks of NC.  Jockey's Ridge contains the tallest active sand dune system in the eastern United States which varies from 80 to 100 feet high as sand is blown back and forth by powerful competing winds.

“The amount of sand making up the 420 acres of Jockey’s Ridge is equal to about 6,000,000 dump truck loads!

The Sand is mostly quartz rock which came from the mountains millions of years ago.

The dunes never blow away because Northeast and Southwest winds blow the sand back and forth.”

Remnants of an early car bridge on Pea Island. Two bridges were built in the 1930s when a hurricane created new inlets that blocked travel. The bridges were only used a few years, as the inlets soon refilled. Single frame from a potential panorama. #uponsand
