Scenic Drive from Denver to the Great Sand Dunes National Park | I-25, US-160, CO-150

Experience a full-length scenic driving journey from Denver to Great Sand Dunes National Park, filmed in late April under cloudy skies and light rain. The route follows I-25 south past Colorado Springs and Pueblo, offering views of moody skies over the Front Range. After turning west on US-160 near Walsenburg, the road crosses high plains and mesas, with mist-covered mountains rising in the distance. The final stretch on CO-150 heads straight toward the base of the dune field, framed by the dramatic backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Range. Captured in real-time with no narration or music, this peaceful POV is ideal for immersive viewing, travel planning, or background ambiance. This video is part of a series documenting a Southwest USA hiking trip in spring 2024. This video is best viewed on high-resolution HDR displays. Producing such videos takes much effort.
