Great Sand Dunes Colorado Tourism

Covering approximately 55 square miles of the remote, high-mountain San Luis Valley in the Colorado Rockies, the Great Sand Dunes are a wonder of nature. Situated at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, these dunes would seem to be out of place.

But, the area has all the ingredients for dune formation — time, wind and sand — and the result is this collection of sand dunes that are the tallest in North America, 700 ft.

Take a careful look and spot colorful plants, Kangaroo rats, the Great Sand Dunes tiger beetle and a variety of circus beetles, all residents of the shifting sand dunes. Take a lunch break at the nearby picnic tables or spend a few days at nearby campgrounds to fully experience the wonder of the Great Sand Dunes.
