The Sand Ramp Trail is a glorious way to get more intimate with the Great Sand Dune National Park. It takes you through mixed forests and fields of juniper, allowing you to bask in the glory of the diverse surroundings. The trailhead here is dramatically titled the Point of No Return – best take some spare food and water, just in case!
