Our family also loves the national parks. Since you said you do to...I'd say it is worth the trip. It is something to see for sure! I think if you visited the visitor center, did the scenic drive, and made a few stops (along the scenic drive) you would spend between 1-2 hours. We spent 2 hours and did climb the Dune Climb. You should a least climb the dune climb to the first crest...(about 20 minutes) so you can say you climbed the dune! It's an experience!
