August 5, 2014 / April / 0 Comments

This was our last morning among the mountains at 8,000 feet. Sand Dunes National Park was such a unique landscape with mountains, forests, wetlands, and desert sand dunes. It is so unique they even have a beetle that lives no where else in the world except here. I’m not much of a beetle fan, …
