Conejos River

The Conejos River does not exist or flow within Great Sand Dunes National Park. The primary seasonal stream at the sand dunes is Medano Creek, while the actual Conejos River is located further south in Conejos County, Colorado. Travelers visiting Great Sand Dunes National Park should plan for Medano Creek instead when seeking water activities.
