{
"dune_section": "The dune trail system showcases the park's most distinctive terrain features. These elevated sandy ridges create natural observation platforms overlooking both the vast Atlantic and the park's interior forest landscapes. Walking on sand requires more physical effort than boardwalk hiking, but with minimal elevation gain across the entire trail system, these routes remain manageable for most visitors while delivering some of the park's most rewarding viewpoints.",
"faq_elevation": "The trail has minimal elevation gain of approximately 3 m on the main boardwalk section, with negligible elevation changes overall, making it very accessible for hikers of all fitness levels. This gentle terrain contributes to the Easy difficulty classification."
