This summer we were lucky to be able too spend three weeks in Colorado. Our first stop was at The Dunes. No idea what we would see but it wasn't this. The Dunes were fascinating but the "beach" was something else. It looked as if we could have been in Florida. Umbrellas, kids with their floats, and everyone just having a good time. The ranger told us the water was deeper a few weeks earlier because of melting snow. If you ever get to Colorado this is a must see.
