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.
