The Gore Range stretches across 1,420 square miles of serrated ridges, alpine lakes, and peaks that remain largely unknown. Storyteller and photographer Dean Allen brings readers into the heart of this wilderness in Unnamed and Untamed.

From the violent legacy of Lord St. George Gore to the movement to rename the mountains “Nuchu Range,” the story explores how names shape our understanding of place. Allen ventures deep into Black Creek drainage, one of the most inaccessible places in the lower 48, to encounter the Dwarf Pyramid, a peak that embodies both discovery and mystery.

Tucked in the San Luis Valley, Medano Creek at Great Sand Dunes National Park transforms each spring into a rare, sandy retreat. Melted snow feeds the creek, creating ripples, waves, and even “surge flow” perfect for skimboarding, sandcastle building, or simply cooling your feet after exploring the dunes.

By mid‑summer the water recedes, but for a few magical months, this alpine oasis offers beach vibes in the heart of the Rockies.
