North Sand Hills Gets Serious Management | Colorado Springs News

Colorado’s North Sand Hills, the state’s only open dune zone for off-roaders, is getting a major upgrade — and a serious safety boost. CPW and BLM are teaming up to transform it into a full-fledged recreation area with campgrounds, bathrooms, fees, and crucially, two full-time law enforcement officers. After years of complaints about dangerous driving, alcohol, weapons, and fights, this move aims to balance adventure with safety. Surveys show 69% still love the spot — but 31% say it’s gotten riskier. Public input is still welcome until September 14 as agencies draft their plan to protect both people and the fragile sand ecosystem.
