The only undisturbed, cold-climate dune in Colorado. This unique site contains one of the two active cold-climate dunes in the state, the other being North Sand Dunes located eight miles north of East Sand Dunes. North Sand Dunes, unlike East Sand Dunes, is open to recreational use by OHV’s, and due to resulting disturbance was deemed ineligible for registry as a Colorado Natural Area.
This is the only Sand Dune in Colorado not accessible by road. The HikingProject app has various trail options you can follow to get there.
