Early Releases.
Originally created as Great Sand Dunes National Monument in 1932, the area in Colorado was granted National Park and Preserve status in 2004. Hunting is allowed in the preserve area . . . hunting is not allowed in most national parks. More than just the tallest dunes in North America, the park features grasslands, wetlands, conifer and aspen forests, alpine lakes, six peaks over 13,000’, and even tundra (wow!).
The Great Sand Dunes National Park quarter is the fourth of 2014 and the 24th overall in the ATB Program. The reverse design features a father and son playing in the sand next to Mendano Creek (Originally, I thought they were Native Americans or Miners...). Mountains and sand dunes are featured in the background. Inscriptions are GREAT SAND DUNES, COLORADO, 2014 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
