Pinon Flats is such a cool campground, one of my favorites in the national parks! Night hikes are amazing, too. Have fun!

I grew up in the San Luis Valley and the sand dunes were an end of year trip while in elementary school. Didn’t really appreciate it back then except it was fun!
Now, as an adult, when I return I go seeking the beauty and photography opps.
Taking it a step further in September …as a friend and I will be camping at Pinon and hopefully doing some night hikes and photography! Can’t wait!
Thanks for the info…at 61, I don’t want to miss anything!
