Best Way to Visit the Dunes Without Actually Going

Boulder photographer John B. Weller fell in love with the Great Sand Dunes years ago, and he began documenting the beautiful sand swells on repeated trips. His compilation, Great Sand Dunes National Park: Between Light and Shadow, released by Westcliffe Publishers last year, is a stunning introduction to a unique part of our state. And while Weller was torn about over-publicizing the fragile area, he believes that the more people come to love the Dunes, the better the chances of preserving them.
