    Backpacked a couple novembers ago and it was the most beautiful sunsets. Once I walked into the first couple dunes I didn’t see another person until I returned to my car. Wonderful place to get lost in

    This place looks very interesting! I had no idea you had a place like this in Colorado!

    Great video! We visited the Sand Dunes last November on our way to Durango. We’re a bit older for sand boarding but enjoyed the views and no crowds. Would loved to have stayed in that dome AirBNB.

    Is there a secluded spot for a purposal during the sky latern events? I have no clue where theyre doing it at
  • @mvgfamous41
    wait, do they not allow driving on the dunes? if not then that sucks, pretty much the best part of dunes is driving on them.
  • @jenan2000
    Can you please send me the link to this lovely geo dome?
  • @UncleFjester
    Why do you spend so much time talking about park passes, just buy the yearly National park pass and visit them all?
