Under the full glare of the Colorado Sun, hiking up the dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park seems like visiting the world's largest beach and never seeing the ocean. And like the beach, sand gets everywhere, especially when kicking up in rooster tails that spray you with a backwash as you try to slow yourself down with an arm or leg as you breeze down a steep slope on the back of a well-waxed sandboard.
Nevertheless, the surrounding views of still lushly green montains, and the nearby creek flowing at the base of the dunes are worth the hike.
