Great Sand Dunes National Park now requiring face masks indoors

Alamosa County currently has a high transmission rate for COVID-19, according to the CDC.

ALAMOSA COUNTY, Colo. — The National Park Service (NPS) is now requiring face masks to be worn inside buildings at Great Sand Dunes National Park.

NPS said that because Alamosa County is currently in high transmission rate for COVID-19, face masks are required for everyone in all park buildings regardless of vaccination status.

NPS said its mask requirement may change on a weekly basis. Great Sand Dunes visitors can call its visitor center or check this webpage for updates.

NPS updated its masking guidance based on the COVID-19 Community Levels tool from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In areas CDC identifies as high COVID-19 community level, masks are required for everyone in all NPS buildings, regardless of vaccination status. In most low and medium COVID-19 community level areas, masks are optional.
