Great Sand dunes, Colorado

Read Evan’s blog post about his trip to Great Sand Dunes HERE

The Great Sand Dunes in southern Colorado sit at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. They are an immense pile of sand that had been swept towards the mountains from across the San Luis Valley from an ancient enormous lake bed. Some of the dunes are over seven hundred feet tall and in total, the tallest in the country, and the dunes cover about 30 square miles.
