The park includes 44,246 acres, and the preserve protects an additional 41,686 acres. The park contains the tallest sand dunes in North America, rising about 750 feet (230 m) from the floor of the San Luis Valley on the western base of the Sangre de Cristo Range, covering about 19,000 acres. Researchers say that the dunes started forming less than 440,000 years ago." -- Land Resource Division, National Park Service
