From Salida, CO to Guymon, OK
Starting out on the 14th we visited a place we had been once before called O’Haver Lake. At about 9,200 feet nestled in the hills. Then the Great Sand Dunes, and a spot not far from the dunes called Zapata Falls. The elevation there is 8,100 feet. We lunched there and then drove down to NM on I-25. Then east on US 64 to Guymon, OK to spend the night.
429 miles • 7 hours; 34 minutes driving time.
O'Haver Lake, CO
Stopped at a small lake at 9,200ft on the way to the Great Sand Dunes. About 2 miles off the highway

Great Sand Dunes NP, CO
This National Park has more sand than at the ocean, I think. We played for a while, then Geri went on a long hike.
