I love this place any time of day but especially near sunset when only one side of the dunes have light. These are the highest dunes in all of North America housed within one of the youngest national parks in the national park system.
For a sense of scale, you can see some people (yeah, those dots) on top of the highest dune in this next picture.

Yep, they're steep! Noah and I hiked barefoot across a partially frozen stream to start this hike up.
Incredible. Beautiful to look at. I'm not sure how much fun they would be to climb!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. It's hard enough to walk up a sand dune at the beach and these dunes are at 7500ft elevation!
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible!
