In the shadow of the Great Sand Dunes National
Monument, sits peaceful San Luis State Park and Wildlife Area.
Nestled among low sand dunes in this unique desert are wildlife-laden
wetlands and approximately nine miles of easy, level hiking
and biking trails. Waterfowl, shorebirds, songbirds and raptors
fill the sky over this outstanding watchable wildlife area most
of the year. In addition, big game such as deer and elk can
be seen roaming the surrounding ranchland. Bison are found at
the nearby Rocky Mountain Bison Ranch.
San Luis State Park features a modern campground with showers
and electricity, fishing, windsurfing, boating, water skiing,
picnicking and photographic opportunities. The park is located
just 15 minutes west of the Great Sand Dunes on the Los Caminos
Antiquos Scenic and Historic Byway.
