Road Trip Out West | Day 2 | Great Sand Dunes

Roadtrip-133Day 2 and still on a high. Determined to see the Great Sand Dunes at sunrise, we camped (possibly illegally) in front of the park sign. The bright idea was that we would all camp in the back of the Honda Fit we were traveling in. All. FOUR. of. us. Needless to say we were up before the sun. Cold, achy, and slightly irritable, a long night turned into a long morning as we mended our aches and pains at the local store.

We were able to explore the dunes almost entirely by ourselves!
