The Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve

We woke up early and hit the dunes as early as we could because the surface can reach up to 150 degrees. To get to the dunes you have to cross the small stream. It is very shallow but wide, and cold. We hiked up the dunes a bit, and hung out for a while and watched the children sled and snowboard down the hills of sand. It got hot on the sand by 10:30 so we hit the road. We ran into another couple that have been on the road in their vanagon for 7 months.

We headed out to our next stop; lake Isabel in the San Isabel National Forest. We found a nice Spot that was wonderful, surrounded by tall trees, tall cliffs, and the sound of a small creek.

Tomorrow we are going to bishop's castle and to my aunt's house for a few days in Colorado Springs.
