Best Top 2 Adventures | Great Sand Dunes National Park (Travel Vlog)
We take our 4x4 camper van (Winnebago Revel Mercedes Sprinter) Over landing in the Medano pass and then we say goodbye to our 4x4 van, hike, and camp overnight in the sand dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. We filmed everything via travel vlog style! We loved traveling to the Sand Dunes National Park because the views were absolutely breathtaking!
The Medano Pass is full of loose sand, rocks, creeks, and tight trails. Overall our camper / RV performed well! Our favorite part of our Sand Dunes travels was sleeping overnight in the dunes. The hike itself, is 1.5 miles up to high dune and then another 1.5 miles down. We brought our own tent and camping gear, hiked to the top, picked our spot and left in the morning. Make sure to check out the stars when you go! This travel adventure ranks in our top 10 USA travel experiences! As a travel couple we could not ask for anything more!

Thank you! We agree and can’t wait for more international travel. We are lucky to have beautiful places like this in our home Country :)
Oh god! I know that feeling of sand pelting against your legs! I love the sand dunes! Honestly, my trick is some alcohol and the devil's lettuce numbs the pain. Thanks for another amazing video!!

Thanks for the tips! This ended up being our favorite night and adventure of summer 2021!
The entire video was great. Both of you are having so much fun out there. I specially like the night shot of the stars. There appears to be at least one shooting star in the frame. Awesome! Hope you didn’t lose that retainer.

Thanks Debby! Go Green! (MSU fan) so awesome to have a Michigander on the channel ❤️ we appreciate the love and support!
I must be doing something wrong, I have never emerged from a tent in the morning that bright and cheery. :) Great video, I understand that Great Sand Dunes is the most quiet park in the National Park System, can't wait to go back now.

Thanks Dennis! I wish we could have made it for the rally, but we had a wedding back in Michigan that we flew back for. luckily Denver has cheap and easy flights. That would be awesome and we will have to look into the dates! We would love to meet you and the other revelers.
