We decided to drive the extra mile to see these sand dunes. They cover 30 square miles and are at elevation 8,200 feet. The dunes are colossal and reach up to 750 feet high.

Many people were there as it was Sunday and Fathers Day so we couldn’t park near them. We parked about a mile from the stream which is at the bottom of them and granddad walked towards them for about half a mile but turned back as it was so hot.

There were people right at the top and some were sand boarding down them. They were quite extraordinary to see and pleased we went. My photos make them seem unreal but they are of different colours. No shadows at midday of course but couldn’t stay in that heat until late afternoon to see the shadows I’m afraid . Can you spot grandad?

 

 

Hope Matthew and Trevor had a good Fathers Day and Vince loved your messages. Thank you for your little video Louis.xxxx

6 more sleeps until we board the plane. xxxxx
