2007 - Colorado Trip

Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park





We kinda stumbled upon this place while driving to the Gator Farm. The dunes are formed as the wind swirls into a curve of the mountain range behind it. The highest dunes were ~900 feet tall, and there are no trails, You just pick a path that isnt too steep or has too many hills and you climb.

 

 

How true... He does eat anything you leave unchained.

Hrmm, Funny story here...

Right after this sign, you walk across a mile of open flat sand to get to the dune base... And it had been storming with lightning just 30 minutes before.

Is this a bad sign?

Guess that storm had left a little electricity in the air... Everyones hair started to stand up... A touch scary

Or This?

How far it was back to the Visitor Center

So we hiked on

Must.... Keep.... Going......

Perspective... see the people behind Felicia?

Kurt decided I needed a picture....Dont ask

This guy showed up, and asked if we could take his picture having fun at the top.

Crawling up the last little dune to get back

2 hours of hiking in low Oxygen, with the sun at your back? Time for YMCA shadow puppets of course
