Great Sand Dunes Colorado

Yikes, what a windy day! After 50-60 MPH winds, everything we had was filled with sand--including our ears and noses! The wind was so strong that it felt like we were being sandblasted and it was PAINFUL! Anyway, here's a short video of my lovely girlfriend climbing some dunes.

looks tiring, haha. I've been to the Sleeping Bear Dunes a few times here in Michigan, and climbing dunes is about the hardest uphilling I can imagine. fun to run down though.

We actually saw a woman climbing up the dunes with snowshoes! Looked like it worked really well.

That place was awesome! It looks a lot easier to hike to the top than it really was

A few years back, my son trekked up the dunes when a lightening storm blew in... scary, but he mastered going to the top and signed the canister that is there for anyone that can make the summit. Fun place if you are in good condition.
