Great Sand Dunes National Park


We stayed Saturday night at a lodge right on the edge of the Great Sand Dunes National Park from which we had an uninterrupted view of the dunes and the Sangre de Christo mountains. Can you see the deer in the picture? Click on it to make it bigger, perhaps.
In the early evening we did a bit of a walk on the dunes to the first ridge – hard going for a couple of old crocks. No restaurant or cooking facilities at the lodge other than barbecues, so we got drenched cooking our food in a thunderstorm, then ate it under cover on our veranda watching the lightening leap all over the mountains.
