Colorado
Maroon Bells, the San Juan Mountains, and Great Sand Dunes
Early July 2023
We set out from Denver on a trip with a dual theme: high places and hot water. We hoped to complete a multi-day hike over four mountain passes, climb two 14,000-foot mountains, and camp on top of the highest sand dunes in North America. And along the way, soak our bodies in all the hot springs we could find.
