Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve in Colorado often gets visitors whose first comments are, “I had no idea this existed.” A combination of opposing winds, a huge supply of sand from ancient dry lakebeds and the sand recycling action of several creeks helped create the tallest dunes in North America.
