Great Sand Dunes, Colorado

Sand Boarding at the Dunes
For a small fee you can rent sand boards near the National Park, they do not rent inside the park. We rented for a the day and really had a blast around sunset. There were clouds rolling in, which gave us some nice shade. Definitely go early morning or near sunset, because the sand is super hot!! We went again the next day around 11 am and we didn’t last very long. The sand was unbearably hot!

Zapata Falls
Short, easy, rocky hike to the creek. If you follow the creek upstream you will come to a beautiful waterfall. The water is ice cold! This is not in the National Park, but just down the road from the park entrance.
