Great Sand Dunes National Park Trail Description Added

I've added the trail description (so to speak, there aren't really any trails in the sand dunes - you can wander and explore wherever you like), map links, driving directions, GPS coordinates and photos of Great Sand Dunes National Park to the Colorado Hiking Trails main site.

Great Sand Dunes National Park is one of our favorite places to visit, as it offers something for everybody in the family: Striking scenery, lots of contrast and textures for the landscape photographer, wildlife for the nature photographer or animal watcher, history, geology, and plenty of sand and water for the kids to play in. 

We often take the "scenic route" on our frequent trips to New Mexico to visit the Dunes. Driving south on I-25 from Pueblo, exit at Walsenburg onto US 160 west toward Fort Garland, then north on state highway 150 to Great Sand Dunes National Park. If you are continuing on to Santa Fe, either return to Fort Garland and take Colorado state highway 159 to Taos, or continue on to Alamosa, then south on US Highway 285 to Espanola and on to Santa Fe.
