Meghan and I took a quick trip to Great Sand Dunes National Park last week. When we got there the campground was already full so rather than go outside the park in a commercial campground we opted to try a primitive site in the preserve.

You could only reach the sites via a 4-wheel drive road with deep deep sand and a couple of stream crossings. They were great though and well worth the effort. It was a new experience to us and a lot of fun. We hung out at the site reading, eating, drinking, talking and staring at the fire and the next day took a hike on the dunes.
