As your rolling through the flat landscape to the national park you can spot the sand dunes from miles away. Quite amazing how where the grasslands of Colorado meet the mountains. This mound of brilliant golden sand piles for miles and meets half the height of the surrounding mountains.
Here is the site to the National Park that you’ll find helpful

The dunes lie north of Alamosa, CO. We camped right outside the park at the former San Luis State Park. Its FREE to camp here and although is pretty barren its got an amazing view of the mountain range surrounding the sand dunes and has a little lake. Due to the prevailing winds that keep the dunes in check its contently windy here so keep that in mind!
The best part of this place? Climbing the dunes of course! You feel like a child in an adult sandbox. You can of course slide down the dunes but they do not supply any sleds at the national park. Besides the dunes there are some amazing hikes on the San Luis Valley on the western base of the Sangre de Cristo Range. Here you’ll find strenuous hikes to alpine lakes and waterfalls.
Please message me with any question you may have about this park.

Hope this can take you away and give you 25 seconds of peace.
In the Glenwood Canyon, Glenwood Canyon, C.O. There is a magical hike that ascends 1,000ft plus up a canyon to a crystal clear waterfall and lake.
This is a quite popular hike and you’ll expect to see many tourist here trying to make the 3.3 mile hike(round trip) up to the waterfall. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes and bring water. This hike is straight up(like climbing stairs) and straight down so expect a moderate to strenuous hike.
The turquoise colors of the lake are produced by carbonate minerals that have dissolved in the water. There is the main waterfall that flows into the beautiful turquoise lake and the source of the water comes from a larger waterfall. there is another small trail that leads you to the back waterfall that falls directly out of a hole in the rock. Its beautiful and you should take the extra 10 minutes to go find it!
Message me with any questions you have about this hike.

Perseid Meteor Shower over Pikes Peak. The moon did not make it very easy this morning but I am happy to have captured several meteor strikes. Only took around 15000 photos. ;) #colorado #visitcolorado #larsleberphotography #coloradosprings #my_cosprings #manitousprings #pikespeak #perseidmeteorshower #perseids #meteorshower #meteor #visitcos #visitpikespeak #canonusa #amongthewild #wildandco #allbeauty_addiction #onlyincoloradousa #outtherecolorado #coloradotography #bns_earth #earthfocus #natureperfection #nightscaper #longexposure_addiction #nightphotography_exclusive #colorado_creative #coloradical #look303 #co14ers
