Great Sand Dunes National Monument

Sponsored Links:

Intro

Nestled in southern Colorado, North
America's tallest dunes rise over 700
feet high against the rugged Sangre de
Cristo Mountains. The wind shaped
dunes glow beneath the rugged
backdrop of the mountains, creating a
memorable scene. This geologic
wonderland, containing 39 square miles
of dunes, became a national monument in 1932.
