The tallest dunes in North America are the centerpiece in a diverse landscape of grasslands, wetlands, conifer and aspen forests, alpine lakes, and tundra. Experience this diversity through hiking, sand sledding, splashing in Medano Creek, wildlife watching, and more!

 

 

This visit to the Great Sand Dunes was too short (and rather cold). A return trip is planned with more photos of this beautiful area to follow.
