Backpacked a couple novembers ago and it was the most beautiful sunsets. Once I walked into the first couple dunes I didn’t see another person until I returned to my car. Wonderful place to get lost in

Very much so. And it's eerie when you find yourself suddenly alone and the silence presses in on you. I bet you are still picking sand out of your stuff to this day. 😂

This place looks very interesting! I had no idea you had a place like this in Colorado!

@HashtagColoradoLife Жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's so strange to have a bunch of sand in the middle of the mountains haha

Great video! We visited the Sand Dunes last November on our way to Durango. We’re a bit older for sand boarding but enjoyed the views and no crowds. Would loved to have stayed in that dome AirBNB.

No matter what age the Sand Dunes are a great place to visit, we agree. We didn't sand board this time, but maybe in the future. It's so quiet and amazing views this time of year. The Airbnb was incredible and we can't recommend it enough 👍 Thanks for watching!

@@TN_hpchen How fun! Denver is a great place to visit as it's very central to the mountains and all of the ski towns via I-70. You can't go wrong!

@@HashtagColoradoLife spent the last two days there in Alamosa, left this morning to New Mexico. The Dunes was magnificant! The scale of people out on it “ants’ with the snow cap mountains in the background!! The creek has about 6 inches of water flowing, great hike 😊

Is there a secluded spot for a purposal during the sky latern events? I have no clue where theyre doing it at

@HashtagColoradoLife 4 ай бұрын

Oh how cool! There are plenty of secluded spots at the Sand Dunes. Pretty much just keep walking and you will certainly find yourself alone. But if you are there for the Light the Night Sky thing I am not too sure. They might have people caroled so people might not be able to stray too far at night.

@notafed6817 4 ай бұрын

@HashtagColoradoLife ok thanks, that helps. I've emailed them about their layout and location however they haven't replied back.

wait, do they not allow driving on the dunes? if not then that sucks, pretty much the best part of dunes is driving on them.

@HashtagColoradoLife 2 ай бұрын

Back in the early 80s you could drive on the dunes. But hasn't been allowed in a loooong while.

sand not on a beach strange no ?

@HashtagColoradoLife 10 ай бұрын

Not really. Deserts are a thing. Ever heard of the Sahara? Kalahari? Gobi? Sonoran? Rub' al Khali? All places filled with sand and certainly not the beach.
