Hike to High Dune

My wife and I hiked up to High Dune. 2.87 miles round trip took over 3 hours. Walking up and through sand is very challenging since for every step you take you slide back half a step.

This log is retroactive in that I do not have the details of my hike (e.g., exact distance, time, etc). I just remember hiking several miles through the amazing Sand Dunes.
