Day 17 - Great Sand Dunes Nation Park Colorado

Seeing so much sand in the middle of and alpine Colorado mountain range was surreal. If you narrow your focus and basically blind yourself to the towering mountains overhead you could easily imagine yourself in the middle of Saudi Arabia. Walking to the edge of the park was like approaching the beach, the edge of the park even had sand dune like beach vegetation only when you walked past this little bit of landscaping you see a stretch of beach that just keeps on going and rolls higher and higher with no surf to be seen. Anyhow here is the video of our little foray into the biggest sandbox I've ever seen.

You should visit the Great White Sands in New Mexico, or perhaps you have already done so. I have not finished all of your videos yet.

Oh we really wanted to. Because we also wanted to go through Carlsbad Caverns as well. WE figure we'll have to do a souther route trip someday. Just not in the cards this time.
