Tucked away within the Great Sand Dunes, Medano Creek is a cool and refreshing seasonal stream that emerges in late March to early April, peaks in June, and then disappears for another year come August. Brought on by snowpack and rains, Medano Creek — like the Great Sand Dunes themselves — is a true gem that features fast-moving, yet shallow waters that are perfect for both little kids and kids at heart! In addition to the beautiful waters themselves, Medano Creek is surrounded by the warm, white, and soft Great Sand Dunes, making for a great place to stroll, tan, and just enjoy.
