<span class=”adventure-description”>Mt. Tijeras</span> above lower Sand Creek Lake near the Great Sand Dunes National Monument

let’s take a “short cut” to the upper lake……..

we are kinda high up here (looking back at the lower lake)

Goats wondering what the silly humans are doing.

lake should be just down hill from here

can’t be that steep ……. see the lakes right there ……….

made it to the upper lake

 

Let’s try a different way back to camp……….

I can’t find a picture of the trail back but it was across a seam/goat trail in the middle of this cliff face.

2012 Trip into Sand Creek Lakes Colorado.

We did the same trip a year later and the weather was much different…………it is affectionately referred to as the frozen Sand Creek trip…….
