Great Sand Dunes National Park Poster

Imagine stepping into a landscape so vast, you can go for miles without feeling like you've moved. All around you is a horizon of mountains and the tallest dunes in North America rising before them. This Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve poster captures the essence of a park that feels rustic at first glance, but is rich with diverse habitats and wildlife. The scene imagines a lone rider overlooking lands where his ranch lays, sitting high atop his horse before the layered backdrop of Medano Creek, the dunes, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. 

Designed in Great Sand Dunes

The poster is one of 59 prints we are making on our National Park Quest, an artistic journey to showcase the parks through a creative lens. It is the third official poster of our Centennial Poster Series in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the parks. This print embodies a Victorian style with its carefully crafted typography and illustration to remind viewers of the year 1916, when the park service was established. Though this park wasn't established until 2004, the idea behind it was long in existence. 

We designed this poster while discovering Great Sand Dunes in May 2016, and its composition was inspired by hiking and backpacking in the dunes, exploring the surrounding mountains, camping at Pinon Flats Campground, and viewing exhibits at the visitor center. The imagery was literally crafted in the heart of the park while exploring a place of vibrant contrasts. We split our days between creation and hiking.
