Kevin, we have been to the Great Sand Dunes.  We hiked around a bit and were really surprised to find all the pools of water back amongst them.  There were a lot of people playing in the water when we were there.  That was about 6 or 7 yrs. ago.  Hubby has gone up somewhere around Walden where there are sand dunes that they can ride their atv&#39;s on.  He went camping/riding there back in May.  W have friends comin at the end of next week and plan to go to the Springs for a day.  I love the drive thru the Garden of the Gods and the Air Force Academy.
