Southeast Colorado & the San Luis Valley
Great Sand Dunes
With massive sand dunes, snow-capped peaks and shimmering wetlands, this relatively
new national park is startling and bizarre , and the best reason to visit the San Luis Valley.
Arkansas River
The Arkansas River flows from the intense Numbers section to family-friendly Brown's
Canyon and culminates with the majestic Royal Gorge (the gorge is the signature trip of
America's most paddled river).
Old West
America's rich gold-rushing, war-dancing, mountain-conquering history lives on along the
historic Santa Fe Trail and at the state's first resort in Colorado Springs.
