Since these are my last few days of Christmas Break, I decided to go on an inspection trip with Justin. This one involved going all the way to Page, AZ and working our way back through Colorado City, AZ. Between the two towns is the short cut of Coral Pink Sand Dunes nation park. Justin got us an all parks pass for Utah and decided that we should finally christen it and use it at our first national park. This place was so much fun! All of the trails are through the sand and it's best experienced bare foot.

| Thanks Justin for this lovely picture |
And yes we walked the whole thing barefoot! Got a little chilly in the shade, and there was still some snow on the sand, but it was all good :)

| Justin thought the snow looked cool on the sand |
We climbed up one of the two biggest sand dunes... it may have required literally climbing up the sand hill.
 |
| It was very steep and very hard to climb in the fine sand |

| Justin said that this picture looks like he's reflecting on things. |

And we finally made it to the top! (It didn't take that long :D )

| And our lovely sun burnt faces! |

| Loves! |

| Sitting on top of the world |
And then came the best part of all... Running down the dune!
It was really cool seeing all the animal tracks in the sand. Apparently there is a beetle that the only location you can find it is in these sand dunes.. Cool!

| Hi Justin! |
All over, it was really fun! We need to do the 2 1/2 mile trail next time :)
Oh yeah... we found this sign on the way there.
No Thanks!
And this is currently going on while I'm trying to upload these pictures!
Don't be jealous :)
