General Management Plan and Wilderness Study
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve » General Management Plan and Wilderness Study » Document List
The draft GMP, wilderness study, and environmental impact statement for the park and preserve describes and analyzes four alternatives for managing the Great Sand Dunes for the next 15 to 20 years. This plan will help NPS staff make decisions about managing cultural and natural resources, visitation, and facilities. Issues addressed by the plan relate to protection of fundamental park resources and values, management of new park lands, public access, crowding/overuse, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, and development and uses in and around the park. As part of the planning effort, the NPS is conducting a wilderness study to determine whether any areas within the expanded Great Sand Dunes boundary should be proposed as designated wilderness.
