The Great Sand Dunes in Colorado were named for their striking and vast sand formations, which rise dramatically against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The name reflects both the immense size of the dunes and their unique desert-like characteristics, despite being located in a mountainous region. The area was established as a national monument in 1932, further solidifying its identity and importance.
