Summary[edit]

Description

NPS/Patrick Myers 2016

Fall is a colorful time to visit Great Sand Dunes! While changing trees capture the most attention, there are more subtle color displays in parts of the grasslands. Rabbitbrush and piñon asters bloom in September, and three-leaf sumac shrubs turn orange and crimson. Also called "lemonade bush," three-leaf sumac produces sticky red berries in fall that taste like sour lemon drops. They have been traditionally used by regional tribes and settlers to make lemony drinks.
