We spent the weekend in Great Sand Dunes National Park. On the way home, we spent some time on Cumbres Pass, which has very nice hiking opportunities, as well as a narrow-gauge train.


Medano creek flows out of the mountains and creates a "beach", where hundreds of people play in the sand all summer. How fun!
