Alamosa KOA
Alamosa, Colorado
The weather didn't look too promising today but we managed to miss most of the rain as we drove to Alamosa - just a few sprinkles as we went over the pass.We decided to spend the night here use the afternoon to explore Great Sand Dunes National Park.
The sun was peeking through the clouds so we hoped that meant the showers were over.
It was quite a sight. It's hard to comprehend that all this sand is right up against the mountains.
We made it up the smaller dunes and then the sky suddenly changed. Note those dark clouds behind Dave.
We are both in such splendid shape that it must have been all that loose sand that made climbing so difficult. We were thankful that the impending storm saved us from having to make the climb all the way to the top. We made a mad dash back to the truck and just made it before the sky opened up.
Earlier, before we started climbing the dunes, we took a short hike. We met a couple on the trail from Rochester, MN. He worked at IBM and she taught at Mayo High School.
