Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in southern Colorado is a gem. It can be a challenge to visit and photograph due to the many other visitors. I was there for two overnights and quickly discovered that going out in the very early morning, especially after a windy night, and at a distance from the parking lot, allowed me to see the dunes with few tracks of people. Walking on the dunes is a challenge, of course, but spectacular views of these open spaces are easy to find without excessive exertion. I found the quality of the light to be key, both the color and the shadows and blue skies made it all pop!
