Great Sand Dunes National Monument to become a national park
Interior Secretary Gale Norton announces designating the Great Sand Dunes in southern Colorado as a national park. The move follows bipartisan support from Rep. McInnis and Sen. Campbell, with Sen. Allard also backing the measure. The expansion from 43,000 to about 107,000 acres will place the dunes alongside the surrounding Sangre de Cristo Mountains and high desert, preserving rare species and a unique landscape.
