Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado, USA, is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America, some reaching heights of up to 750 feet. Nestled against the backdrop of the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the park spans over 149,000 acres and features a diverse range of ecosystems, from high alpine forests and tundra to wetlands and grasslands. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities including sandboarding, hiking, and stargazing, as well as exploring the Medano Creek, which flows seasonally at the base of the dunes.
