Grasses and dunes Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado.

Return journey on Day 4 of a five-day #backpacking trip in #GreatSandDunes #NationalPark. #Dunes are drying out after overnight snow on Day 2/3.

#SandRampTrail uses the edge between dunes and #SangredeCristo range to reduce the miles hiking on sand.

View from Aspen camp Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado.

Aspen camp gets you above the #GreatSandDunes while providing some views of the #SangredeCristo mountains. (The best mountain views come on #SandRampTrail, not in camp.)

You camp in #aspen but view includes #ponderosa.
