Great Sand Dunes National Park










The beauty of this park is a miracle of God for sure! Those mountains are 11,000 ft, and the sand dunes are created by the sand coming down during the snow melt. As the water dries out the wind blows the sand to form the dunes and below the dunes it becomes a marsh wet lands. It is a phenominal example of God creating things that require each other to survive.

Samantha was the only one who made it to the top! We started at about 8,000 ft and she climbed, almost straight up at times to 11,000 ft at the top of the dunes.She had a great helper in Dr. Williams and everyone was so proud of her. Shane and Jacob tried their best but we were quickly running out of sunlight. It was awe-inspiring to say the least!!!! We would love to go back sometime in the spring when there is water flowing...it is supposed to be unbelievable.
