Three of us took a trip exploring Southcentral Colorado and Northeastern New Mexico. We all have wanted to go to the Great Sand Dunes, so we put this on our Top Priority list. The Great Sand Dunes are HUGE! We arrived late in the afternoon, so we did not have as much time as we would have liked to explore... more

Can't wait to Go back. Hopefully in the Spring after the snow melts. more

definitely one of the parks to see... extraordinary sand dunes, stream. more

A highlight of my long weekend in Colorado was a visit to the Great Sand Dunes National Monument. You have to cross a small creek to hike the dunes so be ready to take off your shoes or wear water shoes. Even with overcast skies the dunes were super cool. more

This park is simply wonderful. Only by the strange twists of nature do places like this not only come to exist, but thrive. Saying that the sand dunes are hundreds of feet tall and nestled at the base of spectacular peaks cresting well above the treeline, doesn't even begin to describe it. Viewing this place is like driving down through... more

The park and campground are very nice. The dunes are amazing. The only downfall is that in the spring wind blows all the time and blows hard. Our tent site had some protection from the wind but many didn't. We hiked to the top of the dunes at 9:00 in the morning. By 10:00 the wind was blowing so hard... more
