Day two, headed down to Salida on our way to the Great Sand Dunes. Stopped off for a hike on some trails near Buena Vista, got some lunch and ice cream in Salida, and the made it to the dunes. The entire area is under high wind warnings, so not quite what we had planned but we’re making the most of it. We hiked up a dune that topped out around 2/3 of the tallest ones and felt victory in the massive wind (and unacclimated bodies to elevation). Now it’s time for dinner and settling in for a quiet night.
