| Unfortunately missed the peak of fall colors and the wind made climbing the dunes miserable. However, I enjoyed a nice walk up the canyon to Mosca Pass. | |

| I've been here twice and just love it. The second time we went out hiking for several hours amongst the dunes. Would love to go back and do it again! | |

| byates | Skiing the Dunes | |
| I've gone down for skiing a few times, in 2010 skied over 7000 vert in a day, last year after my vertical mile got chased off by thunderstorms. | |

| Camped a few days here on a bike trip across the Rockies. Hands down one of the most unique and amazing places in Colorado! | |

| MissingHusky | Fun Place | |
| Great place to take the kids, camp, play in the water, hike, go 4-wheelin' & visit hot springs. Avoid July/August because of insane amounts mosquitos. In May the river runs through the bottom of the Dunes and makes it a water wonderland in the middle of the desert - pretty neat. Easy access to great hikes & climbs from here, too. Hike north on foot out of Park to access old ghost town of Liberty, Cottonwood & more... | |

| LadyWawa | Merry Christmas Date Climbed: Dec 25, 2009 | |
| Came here on Christmas Day and it was freezing and so windy! I loved every moment of it though. It's like walking on another world. The scenery around the dunes is incredible too, especially once you wander up to the high point. | |

| mlandau3 | Been Here Several Times | |
| Love the dunes. What an unexpected place in the heart of the rocky mountains . The dunes can get awfully hot in the summer (hot enough to burn skin) and the moving sand can really sting. Also love the hummingbirds. | |

| silversummit | A different type of climbing here! | |
| Been here twice - 2000 and 2008 and found that I like it best after a rain when the sand is damp and hiking up the dunes is easiest! This is an amazing place to visit and camp at! | |
