Medano Pass Primitive Road — Great Sand Dunes National Preserve
Reviewed Aug. 17, 2022

Enjoyed the experience

We came in looking for a site after wandering around the Sandune‘s after a rain storm moved through and shortly before sunset. We went all the way to Creek number 6 and the road really got narrow and rough for our Tacoma 4x4 with no place to turn around. Since the rain storm went through the wind picked up, so we decided to descend from our elevation, which was quite an experience backing up with no stars to light, or moon to light the landscape.. But, we got through it and went all the way back to campsite number 3. The moonrise was beautiful, and the next morning our view with clear skies was gorgeous with the temperature of 59°. It is a must that the bear boxes be used.
