SD-CB-Salida

In August I took a road trip around Colorado and I went through the Great Sand Dunes, Crested Butte, and Salida.  Colorado has so much beauty.  I’m just going to throw in some photos here as opposed to much narrative.  The trip was amazing – enough said.

Sand Dunes

Inspirational card kind of sky on the way to the Dunes:

A few shots from a short hike that went around the dunes and allowed for some good photo opportunities:

The forest surrounding the Sand Dunes had experienced some fires in years past, thus the problem of hazardous falling trees:

Crested Butte

Crested Butte is a never ending photo opportunity.
