Hiking away from the creek was still a nice color hike for a short while. The fall color in the dunes just struck me as unusual but I really enjoyed it.

You can see how far from the creek we have come in the second photo. We decided to hike straight up the ridge line.

By the time of the third photo, it just seemed like the dunes needed an injection of color. We couldn’t compete with the fall colors but we gave it the old college try.

We are standing on top of the highest dune in the fourth photo. Looking around, it wasn’t very much higher than a lot of other dunes.

Hiking down, we figured we could take the slow way or the fast way. Yep, we took the fast way. Andrew eventually caught up and passed April with his belly slide technique.
