Summary

Great Sand Dunes National Park Act of 2000 - Directs the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) establish the Great Sand Dunes National Park (Colorado) as soon as sufficient land having sufficient diversity of resources has been acquired to warrant its designation as a unit of the National Park System; and (2) include the Great Sand Dunes National Monument within such Park. Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) establish the Great Sand Dunes National Preserve (Colorado) as a unit of the National Park System; and (2) include in the Preserve any Federal land adjacent to the National Park that may be managed in conjunction with the National Park. Sets forth guidelines for: (1) the transfer of administrative jurisdiction from the Secretary to the National Park Service; (2) administration of the National Park and Preserve; (3) hydrologic regime protection; (4) grazing on both Federal and non-Federal National Park lands; and (5) hunting, fishing and trapping within the Preserve. Retains Bureau of Reclamation hegemony over any feature of the Closed Basin Division, San Luis Valley Project, located within the boundaries of the National Park or the Preserve. Withdraws Federal lands within the boundaries of either the National Park or Preserve from all forms of entry and disposition under: (1) public land laws; (2) mining laws; and (3) mineral and geothermal leasing laws. Grants the Secretary acquisition authority in connection with inclusion of non-Federal land and water in the National Park or Preserve, including the Luis Maria Baca Grant No. 4.
