Leisurely Hike to a Beautiful Double Falls in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains Near The Great Sand Dunes National Park

To the south of Great Sand Dunes National Park is the exceptional .8 mile out and back Zapata Falls Trail which sports a double waterfall in a small cavelike slot canyon. You may have to get your feet wet on the slippery rocks but it’s very worth it. Make sure to get there early because it is quite busy these days. Near the trail are quite a few day-use only picnic areas as well as a wonderful viewpoint of the Great Sand Dunes themselves and the surrounding Sangre de Cristo Moutnains. There are also restrooms at the trailhead.

On the way to the falls is the Zapata Falls Campground which sports rocky and uneven campgrounds with an incredible view.
