Valentine's Day: Ice & Sand



Happy Valentine's Day from the San Luis Valley!  :)  We had a fun afternoon excursion which included a short hike to Zapata Falls and exploring the  infamous Sand Dunes.  We were energized by the majesty of nature...We love our new home! 

Over looking the Valley, at the beginning of the trail.



Zapata Falls
The coolest part was watching the waterfall silently flow behind 2 feet of clear frozen ice.
Slip 'n' Slide!
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Sand Dunes.
Driving to the dunes...

It was like walking in a really cold desert.




That's "D +R" not "P + R"  :)
This guy walked right in front of our car as we drove slowly...
