Sand Dunes at Sunset, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado

Hundreds of tall sand dunes form at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. Strong winds blow the sand from as much as 65 miles (105 km) away. These mountains block the wind's path, causing the sand to pile up in dunes.
