High Dune in Great Sand Dunes [December 22, 2015]

Advertisement:  Climb over sand dunes to the top of High Dune! It's not the highest dune though. The Sangre de Criso mountains tower to the east, and plains expand out to the west.

Climbing up sand dunes is hard

Difficulty: 3 miles, 650 feet of elevation gain, but travel is entirely on sand so will be difficult

Preparation:None. There is no trail, so just head for the tallest sand dune.

Summary: Do you think climbing sand dunes is fun? This hike is all about that. The views are also pretty cool. 5/5
