Located in the San Louis Valley of Southwest Colorado, the Great Sand Dunes cover over 20 squire miles, and are among the tallest sand dunes in the world. Rising over 700 feet, and backed up against 14,000 ft. tall peaks of the Sangre de Christo Range of the Rocky Mountains, this is truly a spectacular setting that provides unlimited and unique photographic opportunities. Medano Creek, which flows along the eastern edge of the dunes, provides an interesting and unique foreground, and the wind creates constantly changing patterns in the coral-colored sand. Tall Ponderosa Pines fill the valleys, and huge Cottonwoods, whose leaves turn golden in the fall, line the stream. Stately mule deer, which are accustomed to people and easily photographed, add another aspect to the many photographic opportunities found here.
