On the second day, we got surprised by some rain as we came into the mountains, but then it stopped before it made it into the valley – as is the usual for the area – which made for some very amazing skies.

As the rain moved out, the wind really picked up! Our first stop was at the Sand Dunes – sooo windy, but such a big sandbox was sooo fun!

And the Academy Award for Most Dramatic Performance goes to….

Needless to say, it took several shake downs to get all of the sand out of everyone’s clothes & hair 😜

After lunch, we did the Salt Creek Trail –

And finished up our Jr Ranger workbooks to take back to the Visitors Ctr.

As a final stop for the day, we hiked up to L… Point –
