Pictures of our Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park Adventure

The mountains on our way to Alamosa and Great Sand Dunes National Park


Jacob, Megan, Tate, Kyra, and Ethan: enjoying the ride!

walking across the dried river bed portion on our way to the dunes.


They seem to go on forever!

Hollywood filmed parts of the original Star Wars movies here.  The kids loved being in the same place!

On our way out, he was minding his business when we drove past.  He didn't even budge when we backed up to take the picture.




We went to Alamosa to find a fabulous little Mexican restaurant that has huge fruit filled sopapillas.  This was pretty much the reason for the whole trip!

This guy was drinking melted snow and ice off the sidewalk in the middle of town.
