SAVE this for your visit to Great Sand Dunes National Park! 🏜️

Located in southern Colorado, this natural wonder is unreal!! Massive sand dunes backed by mountains and perfect for an epic family adventure.

Here’s what to know before you go:🤩

📍Rent your sandboards/sleds BEFORE entering the park—there’s nowhere to rent inside! This can add 40+ mins round-trip, so plan accordingly.

We rented ours at Spin Drift Sand Boards (616) Main Street…the owner might have been the sweetest, coolest person ever. It was only around $40 for our 3 boards.

❎ Cardboards will not work! 

💰Entrance Fee: $25 per car…Open 24/7! 😮

📸 Great visitor center with restrooms, exhibits, and water before hitting the dunes

☀️Go EARLY in summer—the sand gets HOT by mid-morning. We were staying in Pagosa Springs, so we had a 2hr drive! 

🧦 Tall socks help protect your feet from hot sand

🧴 Must-pack items: sunscreen, water, snacks, hats, tall socks, and flip flops for the ride home (you’ll be sandy!)

👣 Expect to get dirty, sweaty, and laugh a lot! The views are worth every step! 🏞️ We spent about two hours here. Is this an activity (one you don’t wait until your 80 to try) your family would enjoy!? ☺️ Drop your question below!👇
