Medano Pass - Great Sand Dunes NP

[xj-grin]

My pictures were taken on the day of annual peak flows, 44 cubic feet per second. The State's gage at Sand Dunes is currently measuring 9 cfs today, and the historic graph indicates it will be down around 3-6 cfs by mid-July and for the remainder of the summer, with spikes up to 10-15cfs during big storms. That means a small creek in the campgrounds, quickly swallowed up to nothing once it hits the sand.eace:

Our Club makes a run over the pass every year for Correctional Workers Week. It was the first weekend of June this year and we usually have between 20 and 40 vehicles in the group.
