Happy Birthday, GreatSandDunesNPS! 🥳 Great Sand Dunes became a national monument on this day 94 years ago and was later expanded and redesignated as the park you now know and love. The park is famous for its massive dune field, the tallest in North America, where visitors can go sandboarding and sledding. Beyond the dunes, it also includes the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Medano Creek, adding to the dramatic landscape and offering scenic hiking opportunities. Great Sand Dunes’ unique mix of sand, mountains, wetlands, and forests makes it truly a special place to explore. #GreatSandDunesNPS #NationalParks #HappyBirthday #ExploreNature #OutdoorRecreation #Hiking #SandDunes 📷: NationalParkService / Patrick Myers
