The weekend after Frederick and I came back from our European honeymoon, we decided to go CAMPING!! Of course, I choose something further away from home (Boulder, CO) and 4.5 hours later we were at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.
Colorado never fails to surprise me… like how do we get giant sand dunes near the mountains? Disappeared body of water that left huge piles of sand?? Different wind patterns? I’m not a geologist so I had to look it up! Pretty interesting explanation of their formation. Anyway I will stop my rambling…
We stopped at Piñon Flats Campground which has an amazing view of the dunes. The sites are pretty amazing too– large enough to put a couple of tens and each has a fire pit. NIGHTS are so cold! Brrrr
TIP: Get to the campground early (preferably before 10) as it gets full by lunch time.
Murï has his own breathtaking view… HAHA
