Truly this is one of those things you will just have to visit one day and see it for your self. It appears so small, but in reality it is very massive. It sits at the base of all these fourteener's giving it this idea of being not a whole lot of anything.
Sad for me, Jeff and Claire were only able to go out and hike it while I had to sit on the side lines. My wheel chair would not have made it 3' in all that sandy sludge. Jeff and Claire did tell me that the river that runs in front of it has "waves" that are like the ocean and come up to your waist and then roll back. The sand, which I have a sample is dense and not so sandy at all. In fact it is very rocky.
Again... you really should see this for yourself!!!
Oh.... We stopped at a coffee house outside of the park and noticed we were about to loose Jeff's bike from all of the winds we were driving through. CO and its 60mph gusts... good times!!!
