Eagle View of the Sand Dunes

Cold day of fall in the mighty dunes of Colorado (2025). 

Here they are! The famous Sand Dunes of Colorado. The highest pile of sand in North America. I took the photo high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains - near the Zapata Falls. The Utes called them the "sand that moves". Then came the Spaniards, followed later by the trip of Zebulon Pike through the White Mountains - old name for the Sangre de Cristo Range. Windy cold day of autumn. Beautiful wilderness.
