Junior Ranger Day at Great Sand Dunes

Families and children are invited to take part in this free event, which features hands-on stations focused on dunes, wildlife, fossils, and cultural artifacts. Children who complete all activities will earn small prizes.

Participants may park at the Dunes Parking Area and follow signs to the registration table in the South Ramada Picnic Area to begin their Junior Ranger adventure. Participants may drop in at anytime during the event to engage with the activities and earn prizes. 

Junior Ranger Day is presented in partnership with Friends of the Dunes, the park’s official nonprofit partner and citizen support group.
