Great Sand Dunes Achieve Peak Visibility in the Park

Recent data from the Washington Post highlights Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve as the eighth-ranked national park for visibility out of 76 sites, despite challenges from recent wildfires affecting air quality. The park employs sensors to monitor air particles and assess visibility, which has been essential for both daytime and nighttime experiences. Designated as an International Dark Sky Park in 2019, it offers exceptional stargazing opportunities, contributing to its popularity and economic impact—$37.9 million in 2023 alone. However, ongoing haze and pollutants still hinder visibility on poorer days, emphasizing the need for continued improvements to meet Clean Air Act standards. A recent study indicated that nearly half of visitors would reconsider their trips if night skies became less clear, underscoring the vital role of visibility in maintaining tourism and preserving the park’s allure.
