| Description |
NPS/Patrick Myers Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve is a place of convergence. Winds funnel sand deposits from the vast San Luis Valley into this pocket of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, forming the tallest dunes in North America. The dunes have also been a cultural crossroads for centuries, with many diverse peoples drawn here. And, this low curve in the mountains pulls in storm systems, sometimes making dramatic cloud formations. Lenticular clouds are formed from streams of wind high in the atmosphere flowing over a mountain ridge, trapping lenses of moisture. |
