Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve

About

Visitors to this national park and preserve can expect to find a unique combination of sand dunes, wetlands, and forest, with camping opportunities available. The moderate difficulty level reflects the potential for hiking and exploring the dunes, which can be challenging due to the soft sand and steep slopes. From May through September, campers can take advantage of the warmer weather, although afternoon thunderstorms are common during this season. Parking and restrooms are available, and pets are permitted in the camping areas, making it a convenient option for those traveling with their pets.
