"The south eastern edge of The Great Sand Dunes National Park at Medano Creek at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in south central Colorado, USA.These sand dunes were formed by winds carrying sand and dirt particles from the San Juan Range, 50 miles to the west, where they encountered the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range and then deposited. Some of these dunes rise to over 700 feet (213 meters) in height, making them the tallest sand dunes on the North American continent.If you look carefully, you can see at least 10 hikers on the sand dunes - in just the right half of this photo."
