The largest sand dunes in North America is what I Googled. I was more than a little surprised to learn that the Great Sand Dune National Park & Preserve was located in Colorado, as I grew up in Nebraska and had never heard of it. Nestled between two mountain ranges at an elevation of 7,700+ feet it is an awe inspiring sight to behold.
The 3 and a half hours that my wife and I spent trudging through the sand to get to the top of the first ridge of sand dunes was exhausting. In the movies they make it look far more easy for people to wander through endless sand dunes than the reality is. Plenty of sand surfers were having a crack at the dunes though.
Definitely worth the drive if you are in the area!
