Great Sand Dunes National Park

Here we are on top of High Dune, we climbed it under the impression that it was the highest dune in N. America. Upon reaching the top we learned it was the 3rd highest. Bummer. Having climbed the world's highest dune in Namibia, Jeff is now working on climbing the Seven Sand Summits. It's far less grueling than climbing the Seven Summits. The biggest risk is that you might get a little sand in your eye. Everest climbers on the other hand loose limbs to frostbite and lives to falls. Falling off a sand dune usually results in laughing.

Monte Vista Nat' Wildlife Refuge - we saw thousands of noisy, dancing Sandhills cranes.
