Pressing Forward!!

To carry one with our trip in review we start this
time with a trip to the Great Sand Dunes.
John, myself, Grandma, and Grandpa all walked out
to the lower part of the Sand Dune, but only John
and I dare to climb any of it. And we didn't go to
the top. Not so easy to walk in all that sand, but we
did go part way. It would have probably taken us
another hour at least to get to the top.
And of course we didn't take any water with us, so
that didn't help. It was a lot easier coming down
than going up. So Grand kids how would you like
to have this as a sand box?

The views were beautiful.
Next we stopped at Treasure Falls. They are in
the San Juan Mountains. This Fall is over 105
feet to the bottom.

Aren't these little creatures sweet! They look
as if they are kissing each other. They are what
they call pikas. They are a member of the rabbit
family. There were quite a few down at the creek,
before we walked up to the falls.
We are having a great time so far getting to see the
beauty that has been created for us to enjoy.
