Great Sand Dunes National Park located in Southern Colorado west of Colorado Springs. It’s known for huge dunes like the towering Star Dune, and for the seasonal Medano Creek and beach created at the base of the dunes. The backcountry Medano Pass Primitive Road winds through a canyon toward the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Trails lead to forests, wetlands and alpine lakes like Medano Lake, which is home to trout and tundra wildlife.

Hey Wes, we met you here at Great Sand Dunes National Park at the sign and talked for around 1 hour. Glad to stumble upon your video and check out your previous adventures and ones going forward. Your words serve as an inspiration to us as we were amazed at how many National Parks you visited on your way to the ultimate goal of seeing them all. This video provided an excellent summary of things to do at Great Sand Dunes and the surrounding area. You deserve a lot more views and subscribers given the passion you have for the natural beauty of the country. One day down the road, we hope to visit all the National Parks as well. When we met you, Great Sand Dunes was our 4th National Park. We currently sit at 15. Keep up the good work!

Hey guys thank you for the wonderful comments and so glad you found my channel and thank you for the subscribing. Such a great conversion we had at the sign at Great Sand Dunes on that morning and I am so glad you guys were inspired by my words of encouragement to visit all the National Parks. That is such great news that you are on your 15th park visit and you are having fun getting outdoors and seeing these natural wonders in America. Now, I am currently on my 60th National Park and just last week they added a 64th National Park to the list, so the list is growing! The new National Park is located in Colorado on the southeastern border with the State of Kansas and it is called Camp Amache, it was a World War II Japanese Internment Camp. Keep up the visits and I hope our paths and adventures cross paths again someday.
