Wow, the west is beautiful - glad to be back
I have no explaination
Great Sand Dunes NP at the bottom of their catching mountains
Inside the gate
A quick nature hike
Swearing in of Timmy, his new rank is Junior Park Ranger
Start of the hike - there are a lot of people in this picture, but most of them are just small slivers.
Over the river and onto the sand
This hike took me to the peak on the highest point on the right of the picture.
They're at the top of the first dune
From the top of the first dune

Nearing the top - Note Finn 1 with my sock raised
At the top!
Me and my beach bag - wish I had a backpack to look cooler
Where we hiked
The Finns and my socks heading to the top - liked the view so much went out there with red and left Pinky to take the picture
Note the perfect untouched sands - Red got out there and did a head first dive down and created a nice slide mark
Hello World!
Red's slide and hike marks
About to start the quick, soft trip down...using the steepest slopes possible
Jersey girls
Leaving the sand box
A side trip that would have included a hike to a waterfall, but the sands had wiped me out and the heat headache was approaching.
The west it beautiful!! Heading to Santa Fe
