This is the Great Sand Dunes National Preserve outside of Alamosa, CO...this is a "one of a kind" place where their are mountains, desert (dunes), and a marsh/bog all in one place and all dependent on each other. Eddie and I took a day out to see what it was all about...
The dunes are surrounded by Medano Creek...which in turn creates a beach like atmoshere...Kids were playing in the creek, building sand castles...people were barbqing...throwing frisbee's...the creek was only 2 inches deep...no chance of drowning!!... great place to bring the family...and it was only 70 degrees!
Yeah that is right...Eddie wanted to go to the top...officially the highest sand dune in North America!
We checked this one off the list and added it to the resume'.
Dared Eddie to do a belly slide...he wimped out.
Sand filled my shoes to the point I had no other rooms for my toes...we soon left and jeeped our way out over Medano Pass to Westcliffe...and then to home...8 hours in a Jeep is tough!
