Carcross Desert

"Yet Canada's Yukon Territory is indeed home to one of the most unique displays of sandy desert beauty on Earth. Depending on who you ask, the Yukon's breathtaking Carcross Desert is either the world's smallest desert or one of North America's most prominent collections of sand dunes. Still, regardless of how you classify it, the Carcross Desert is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime natural wonder, preserving genuine Sahara-like views (and activities) in the heart of the cold, rugged climate of the Yukon mountains."
