So our ultimate goal was to visit "The Stations of the Cross in San Luis." The drive is beautiful and long. My widows were so excited to see them. We arrived in San Luis - the oldest town in Colorado and followed the signs. The Stations ended up being up a hill with stairs and not handicapped accessible. Hummm you would think whoever planned this trip (me) would have thought about that. But you know our motto - "It's not so much the destination but the company we keep." So what if we didn't see the Stations. We got to see the oldest town in Colorado.
The Sand Dunes did not disappoint anyone. It's just so amazing to look at these Dunes and realize the magnitude. 35 square miles. The tallest dune is 750'. The sand in one place is over 350' deep. Awesome.
The coolest thing though was the wheels they had for my Mom. We could take her out onto the Dunes. We didn't get very far. It's hard to walk on that sand and it was HOT.
It is so amazing the wonders and beauty we have here in Colorado. Can't wait to see the colors that await us on our way home.
