Great Sand Dunes National Park Colorado Square Sticker

The setting sun casts dramatic shadows on the dunes of Great Sand Dunes National Park. Great Sand Dunes National Park, located in southern Colorado, was established in 2004 and is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America, surrounded by a diverse landscape of mountains, wetlands, and grasslands. Key attractions include the Star Dune, the tallest dune in the park, and Medano Creek, a seasonal stream popular for sandboarding, splashing, and wading. Visitors can also explore the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains, enjoy hiking trails like the Mosca Pass Trail, and experience stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the region.
