The Great Sand Dunes

I spent the last two nights at the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. Not only do I love this park, but I also love the whole San Luis Valley. It was one of the most beautiful and interesting places I've been to. A great national park, mountains, farms, monasteries and UFO lookout towers. I could spend a week there.
I hiked to the tallest dune in North America. 750 ft. And hiking up sand is no easy task. I'm still shaking sand out of my shoes. The view from the top was absolutely worth it. When I left this morning I had to drive extra carefully because there were so many deer next to the road.
Today I'm checking out Taos. By tomorrow I expect to be in Arizona again.
