Hiking, camping & sledding in a diverse park with forests, lakes & North America’s tallest dunes.
"Snowcapped mountains, incredible backcountry skiing, and lush vegetation are some of the biggest attractions that draw tourists to the state of Colorado. Because of this, many unknowingly miss out on the golden-orange dunes that are ignited in the afternoon sun. Camp under the stars in this Sahara-like setting, or explore the surrounding meadows and view the dunes from afar. It can get windy in the dunes, so plan accordingly when setting up a campsite."
