To summit Star Dune, hikers must chart thei...

Sandboard in Great Sand Dunes National Park
Outside of the national park there are two different companies that can rent sand boards and sleds for your day use at around $20 per board per day. However, If it is raining a lot and the dunes are too wet, or if the dunes are frosted over both companies will not rent out their boards in order to maintain quality.

Mount Lindsey (CLOSED)
NOTE: As of September 2021, Mount Lindsey has been closed to public access indefinitely. (Source)
At 14,042 Mt. Lindsey is not one of the tallest 14ers, but it is a fun objective regardless. The Lily Lake trailhead can be somewhat difficult to access without a high clearance car, but most cars can probably make it. There is quite a bit of private property along the road so just be careful if ...
