Stock Photo Images of Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado

Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. A new set of stock photos by Clint Farlinger Hiking 750 feet up to the peak of Star Dune, North America's tallest sand dune, is an arduous task, but the view from the top is incomparable. Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado protects the 19,000 acre dune field that sits on the floor of the San Luis Valley. Prevailing westerly winds push the sand toward the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, but occasionally blows with great force through passes to the northeast, piling the sand upon itself to create the tall, sharp dunes.
