Enjoying Our Dash

Just in case you were wondering, we accomplished our goal of sleeping at least one night in every state in the nation!!

After we left Wyoming, we had several more National Parks on our list.   Next up was Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado.   We stayed just outside of the park so we had some beautiful views.  As we traveled on the park roads, we saw this guy. What was even more amazing was later that evening, we saw this, in our campground just steps from Dash. Next up was the Great Sand Dunes National Park, also in Colorado.  This park is small but the views are really neat.  Check out this swirl cloud formation as we were entering the park.  I have never seen anything like this! The dune is approximately 741 feet tall.  At first it doesn't look very big, but when you see people walking towards it, and then see the little specs at the top of the dune, you get a sense of just how big it is. It was really cool to see the high plains in this area.  We were at about 8100 foot elevation in the picture below. We also visited Mammoth Caves in Kentucky....
