Historical Significance
Located in southern Colorado, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America, rising dramatically against the Rocky Mountains. The park preserves a rare combination of dunes, grasslands, wetlands, forests, and alpine environments, highlighting the dynamic natural forces that shaped this striking landscape.
Collectibility
The 2014-P Great Sand Dunes Quarter is popular among America the Beautiful collectors for its unusual desert-meets-mountains design. Circulated examples are common, while well-struck uncirculated coins with clean fields and strong luster are preferred for complete date-and-mint sets.
