Free entry to the Great Sand Dunes National Park for Veterans/Military

On Nov. 11, 2025, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) will offer veterans, active-duty military personnel, and the National Guard free entry into Colorado state parks as a thank you to U.S. military members.

Veterans and military members, residents and non-residents, can visit any Colorado state park for free by showing proof of military service. Vehicles displaying a Colorado Disabled Veteran or Purple Heart license plate receive free entry to all state parks year-round.
