Great Sand Dunes National Park

Today we drove to our last National Park for this trip, Great Sand Dune National Park. There are the tallest sand dunes in America. The mountain pass created a funnel that caused the sand to accumulate at its current location. This park was very busy with many school busses and groups hiking the dunes.

After taking photos at the dunes near the Visitor Center, we took a short drive up the Medano Pass Primitive Road. This was mostly a sand road, but our car did fine. There were only a few spots where the sand was deep and loose, but we made it through. We stopped and turned around where four wheel drive was required to continue.
