The Great Sand Dunes are important to the Navajo Nation. A song tells of the nearby White Shell Mountain and the Dunes.
People have been in the area about 11,000 years.
Before the Spaniards came, North American tribes spoke of the Dunes. Read more in history and culture NPS.
The first European in the area was Don Diego de Vargas in 1694.

This short video offers a sense of what it's like to look at the panorama of this immense sandy landscape.
All the pictures and the panorama video were taken by me with my Pixel 4 phone in August 2021.
The Great Sand Dunes became a National Park in 2004.
