Great Sand Dunes National Park

We visited Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado:

Mountains and sand dunes:

The picnic area parking was full of people who had inconsiderately parked there then gone to the dunes, but we found an empty amphitheater as an alternative place to have our picnic lunch:

With a better view of the dunes, anyway:

The visitor center was being renovated:

So they had a temporary visitor center building set up:

And smashed pennies (with a couple of fascinated little girls watching her):

Then we headed out to the sand dunes:

We rented a couple of sand sleds from the KOA RV park:

Impressive sand dunes, and a fun experience.
