Great Sand Dunes

The main attraction today was the Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve.  On the way there, the land was FLAT with mountains in the distance and dust devils here and there.  And then they came into view.  The tallest sand dunes in North America at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.  So we rented sand boards and headed to the dunes.  First came the Medano Creek crossing – a seasonal flow and a welcome treat especially at the end.  But that sand was H.O.T.  Note to self – next time wear socks and shoes.  Poor toesies!
