Crestone Peak (to the right of center), elevation: 14,294 ft, flanked on the left by Kit Karson Peak, and on the right by Crestone needle. Together the Crestones form a long and jagged ridge. In the foreground are the Great Sand Dunes, roughly 130 square miles of sand with the tallest dune reaching about 800 ft. The dunes are constantly sculpted by the wind. Located in the high San Luis Valley, the Great Sand Dunes are sureal, and fun! The San Luis Valley is surrounded by tall Mountains, and the valley itself is high and enormous, at an elevation of about 7,500 feet, and covering about 8000 square miles. For comparison, the state of Connecticut is 5,543 square miles.
