Sand Creek
Just beyond the northwestern extent of Great Sand Dunes, Sand Creek flows
into the San Luis Valley carrying moisture and sediment from the Sangre
de Cristo Mountains. When it delivers water far into the sand sheet during
spring snowmelt—in April, May and sometimes June—the creek plays
an important role in feeding the sand sheet with sand that will subsequently
be transported by the wind into
the Sand Creek Star Dunes.
