On this day, we went to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. This, in my opinion was my favorite national park in Colorado. This area has very few paved roads inside the park. The only things within the paved area of the parks were the visitor center, campground, and a single picnic area. Besides that, there was a wilderness areas where you could see the actual sand dunes, the highest one rose 700 ft. higher than the desert floor. We were playing on the small about 20 foot high sand dune, when we saw another family with a sled, we thought they had a lot of fun, and my sisters and I begged our dad to rent a sled for us, and after two long hours of waiting, our dad came back with the sand sled. We all tried to master the sled, and headed for a bigger dune. By noon, we left to go west to southwest Colorado, near Mesa Verde National Park. That was our plan for the next day.
