From the Great Sand Dunes parking lot, you can hike directly onto the towering dunes, a challenging yet rewarding adventure offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. For big sandy thrills, try sledding or sandboarding down the soft, golden slopes—gear is available for rent nearby. Wanting to hike instead? No problem! There are no trails on this sandy sea, but there are plenty of notable dunes you can hike to, including Star Dune and Hidden Dune.
