We left NM and arrived in Colorado at the Great Sand Dunes National Park. These dunes cover 30 square miles and the tallest is 750 feet. This eco system relies on snow melt for its survival. The ranger just stopped by to tell us a black bear has been seen nearby in the past week.

| Still in NM |
 |
| Snow-capped peaks |
 |
| Church high on a hill. Sign at the bottom of the path up warned of rattle snakes. No, we didn't hike up. |
 |
| See the dunes on the left |
 |
| Massive dunes |
 |
| For those who hike up, they are told to wear close-toed shoes. Temp of the can can reach 140 degrees in the summer. |
 |
| Our campsite for the night. Dunes are in background. So hot we stayed inside. |
 |
| Guest outside our bedroom window this morning! |
