After a nice breakfast of migas, sausage and toast, we left the NRA Whittington Center RV Park and drove north to Trinidad, Colorado. They were having a Santa Fe Trails Festival downtown. We wandered around the festival waiting for Trinidad Brewing to open at 11AM per information we obtained from the tourist information center. We went to the brewpub at 11 AM but no one was there. We called them and were told that they would open at 4PM. So we left.
We drove to Blanca, Colorado via the beautiful North La Veta Pass (9,413 feet). The Pathfinder and Casita struggled at speeds up to 40 MPH, but we made it. We checked into the Blanca RV Park. This place is a dump compared to last night's spot, but it has full hookups for only $1o. We unhooked the trailer and drove to Great Sand Dunes National Park. This place is similar to Monahans Sand Hills Park in Texas, but it is much bigger with taller dunes and they have no vegetation growing on them. The dunes run up against tall mountains and a shallow snow melt river runs through it this time of year.
