Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve 3 LUMENATI PRODUCTIONS; ANDREW MAGUIRE Explore Our Parks & Monuments Colorado’s natural assets awaken the imagination and stir the senses. Come to life walking a trail to the twinkling tune of aspen leaves, wrangling a feisty rainbow trout, crunching over pine needles while twisting along on a mountain bike, sitting beside a babbling creek for a picnic or witnessing the wonder of bighorn sheep moving from one rocky ledge to another. Our four national parks, nine national monuments and 43 state parks have preserved special moments like these — and millions of others — for visitors to carry with them for a lifetime. COLORADO .
