A truly remarkable landscape that must be experienced. These are the tallest sand dunes in North…read moreAmerica. Yes, in Colorful Colorado!!! My first trip to Great Sand Dunes National Park was in February of this year. It completely exceeded my expectations. No, it's not classic Colorado. Yes, I visited in the off season (more people should do this!) Minimal crowds meant having most of the park to myself. I rented a sandboard in Alamosa and sandboarded down the dunes. Only $20 at Kristi Mountain Sports! Talk about a thrilling experience! Totally recommend doing this if you're craving an adventure. All you have to be cautious of are the weather conditions, specifically wind. I watched the forecast like a hawk and tailored my visit accordingly. The two popular hikes to experience the dunes are High Dune and Star Dune, with the latter being the tallest. Now you know I'm a hiker and that I grew up near the ocean...but hiking on sand??? Not for the faint of heart! I made it up to High Dune and ran out of water and decided it was best to head back. Incredible views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. At a few points I was completely surrounded by dunes and that was a feeling I never thought I'd experience! Visiting at sunrise the following morning was spectacular. I was the only one in the trailhead parking lot! The pink skies over the dunes and mountains was a special combination. I hiked the Dunes Overlook Trail afterwards and I'd recommend it since you get to see the park from a higher vantage point. I also saw 25 deer on trail, no I'm not exaggerating! This was the adventure of a lifetime. Go play in Colorado's sandbox, you'll be surprised how much you enjoy it! Can't wait to come back!

Then it's on to the little "art" studio. Local artists show there. The pieces of art are reasonably priced! Keep walking, there's a play area for kids and the flowers during summer are blooming all through the center. Walk thru and have a seat, see the bronze statue of the founder.This is a nice place for a "selfie"! Leave the center and continue the walk - in the summer on Friday's at the far North end is the Farmer's Market. Continue the circular walk around the park and at the far South end on Friday's are the "Food" trucks. Plenty of picnic tables with lots of beautiful shade trees. Great place for a picnic! Love, love, this park. It is such a landmark for the City of Pueblo. Easy to see just off I-25, exit on 13th Street & turn right onto Santa Fe. Straight into the park! Enjoy!
