After Bob attended the Natural Arch and Bridge Society's Fall Arch Rally at the Colorado National Monument in late September 2023, he decided to visit a number of destinations in Colorado, since he had only visited the state once before.
One of the places he wanted to visit was the Great Sand Dunes National Park in the eastern part of the state. To his surprise, the park allowed backpackers to spend the night out in the dunes. Surprising because there's no water source out there. It happened to be the night of the full moon when Bob made a point of hiking out into the dunes. He wanted to see the dunes lit up by the full moonlight. This photo is one of many he took during his overnight backpacking trip. Notice the stars in the sky as well as two tents of other backpackers in this image.
This park has the tallest sand dunes in North America, the tallest being 750 feet. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are in the background.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
