Great Sand Dunes National Park Traveling from southeast to northwest, the Great Sand Dunes National Park is a short drive from Alamosa, where most groups overnight if taking either the Cumbres & Toltec or Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. Here in the San Luis Valley are some 30 square miles of towering sand dunes, some as […]
Coke Ovens, Colorado National Monument This month I’m introducing our readers to four wonderful, yet lesser-known national parks and monuments in the Centennial State: Great Sand Dunes National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado National Monument and Dinosaur National Monument. Although it is likely that many of you have never even heard […]
