Spotlight: The Great Sand Dunes
Did you know southern Colorado is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America? Great Sand Dunes National Park, located near Alamosa, has a few dunes towering over 700 feet! This national park has something to offer visitors year-round. Looking to shake things up this winter? Try sledding or snowboarding down snow-covered dunes. For all the details you need to plan your next winter adventure, check out UCHealth’s article “Great Sand Dunes National Park: Gaze at the stars or sled the dunes” article by Katie Kerwin McCrimmon.
