Great Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls
We got up really early one morning and hiked the hike to Tall Dune at the Great Sand Dunes.
Here we are at the top. It was really windy!
Our first night out we camped at a new campground at Zapata Falls. The campground had just opened for the first time the week before we arrived. It was quiet, with beautiful views of the San Luis Valley. The road up to the falls was pretty rough, but driving slowly we did ok.
Below, Joel is putting on his shoes at Zapata Falls after walking over to the falls through the river.

Ouray, CO
Below is the cabin we rented in Ouray - at the River Side Inn. The clouds were moving in to the canyon when I took this picture.
We had the most amazing breakfast - "breakfast for miners" at the Bachelor-Syracuse Mine. We took a really interesting tour of the mine (which included a train ride into the mine and a talk about mining in general and specifics about the Bachelor-Syracuse). After the mine trip we took a 2-hour horseback ride up the side of the mountain. We had stunning views of Ouray all along the way. Joel is on Bob and I am on Z.
Mountain canyon on the northwest of Ouray.
Below is Z the Horse.
We took a walk to Box Canyon on the south end of Ouray. The leaves below were on the walk.
River in through Box Canyon.
