Welcome to the official National Park Service web site for Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. In this high mountain valley are the tallest dunes in North America, flanked by some of the highest peaks in Colorado. Grasslands, wetlands, dunes, creeks, forests, and alpine tundra are all protected as part of the Great Sand Dunes natural system.

Dunes
Explore the tallest dunes in North America! Whether hiking, sliding, exploring in a dunes wheelchair - or simply playing - the Great Sand Dunes are a unique wilderness area protected for all to enjoy.

Creeks, Lakes and Wetlands
Water is the lifeblood of the Great Sand Dunes system. Streams begin as mountain snowfields, melting then flowing through alpine lakes, forests, dunes, grasslands, and lush wetlands. Explore the diverse waters of Great Sand Dunes. Check current conditions of Medano Creek on our news page.

Mountains
Explore the mountain watershed of the Great Sand Dunes. Rugged 13,000' summits, alpine lakes, tundra, and ancient forests are protected in Great Sand Dunes National Preserve.

Great Sand Dunes National Park is located 35 miles northeast of Alamosa, Colorado, reached by U.S. 160 and Colorado 150 from the south, or from Colorado 17 and County Lane 6 from the west.
