Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Alamosa, Colorado
Sound crazy? People do it all summer long at the Great Sand Dunes National Park! The dunes themselves are quite a sight, especially in Colorado where most of the geography is prairie and mountains, but over the years, outdoor sports lovers have adopted a new summer sport called dune skiing. Some even find dune hill skiing easier as sand creates friction rather than slickness like the snow and ice of the snow ski hills.
