This is THE comprehensive guidebook for Great Sand Dunes National Park, published by the Colorado Mountain Club. It covers every area of a visit to the park, along with some pretty good photography. We use this book personally and recommend it.
Purchase from: AmazonHiking Colorado’s Sangre de Cristos and Great Sand Dunes
This is the Great Sand Dunes National Park entry in the extensive Falcon Guides series. It also covers the adjacent Sangre de Cristos Mountains. When looking for a hiking guide book of a park, we generally look for the Falcon Guide first. With few exceptions, they are very good at what they do, and we like to have a consistent format to get used to.
