If you enjoyed the visuals in the Dune 2 movie and want to try it out at a grand scale, at 230m tall, the Great Sand Dunes (CO) is a worthy stop. Just be careful, the nearby towns entire GDP comes from speeding tickets, and they will go as low as to ticket you for speeding during a lane crossing pass.
@castano Enjoyed the drive to the dunes (and valley with moving rocks) in Death Valley. But the CO Dunes definitely feel monsterous in comparison. April is a good time to go for CO Dunes, cool air, easier hike, no snow. There is a offroading section by CO Dunes too, but it requires airing down, and I didn't bring a pump this time.
