Want to know how to keep dirt, rocks, and pebbles out of your hiking boots? The answer is simple – walking gaiters!

So when you’re walking around Joshua Tree National Park, or playing in the sand dunes of Death Valley National Park, put on a pair of walking gaiters first and keep the little rocks, dirt, and sand away from your toes!
