The highest sand dunes in Great Sand Dunes National Park rise to a height of 755 feet, but from this vantage point as we were leaving the park they look almost as tall at the 13,000 foot peaks in the distance. The dunes cover over 300 square miles and can be seen for miles before you arrive at the park. I captured this image of the dunes in the early evening as the sun was still fairly high in the western sky and we were heading back to town and our hotel for the night.
