Take a trip with me and visit the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado from the air! The dunes are located in the San Luis Valley (almost 8000ft elevation) and some of them reach as high as 750ft tall!

We'll venture over the Hooper Sand Dunes Recreation Hot Springs for lunch!

Hottest pool I've ever been in.

An experimental airplane lands on The Hooper Pool Airstrip, just west of the Great Sand Dunes National Park in the San Luis Valley. The Sangre de Cristo mountains tower in the background.

Come explore Colorado's mystic San Luis Valley with Travel Video Journalist, Juliana Broste, "TravelingJules." On this action packed three-day road trip, we'll start off exploring North America's tallest sand dunes 00:33 and give sandboarding a go. Then, we'll hop aboard the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad 2:23, zigging and zagging across the state border while admiring the ever changing landscapes. I'll check out a few quirky Colorado attractions, including a visit to the UFO Watchtower 4:06 and the Colorado Gator Farm 4:57. Did you know you can handle a gator or even give gator wrestling a go? We'll finish the tour in Pagosa Springs, and take a much deserved soak in the mineral-rich waters of the Pagosa Hot Springs 6:45. All this, and more...only in Colorado!

▶︎ Ranger Review: Green Goo Outdoor Travel Pack at Sand Dunes Swimming Pool & RV Park, CO
Campground Review
What a cool place to cool off near the Sand Dunes. There are plots for RVs as well as tents. The campground hasn't been open more than a year and a half, and some areas are still taking shape and overall the campsite is still figuring itself out. While some sites are well established, there's a decent amount of open flat land people were camping on as well. This place used to be a tilapia farm and there's still some pools around the place with large fish. There are a few ponds with frogs too, which is cool, but also means pack the earplugs as these guys are an alarm clock you can't snooze in the AM.
The main attraction of this place for families has to be the pool, which also has a basic restaurant with grill food that's reasonably priced. There's also a separate adult only area within the pool rec center called "The Green Room" which has a bar and various temperature level hot tubs, a wading pool, and a sauna.
There is also a basketball court, coin operated showers and laundry, water hook ups, and electric hookups.
What's a little awkward about this place (as of May 2017) is the showers are a combo shower/toilet room, and there are two of them to service this whole camp when the pool rec area is closed (10pm-10am). There was another single service bathroom around the back of the rec building, but not well marked. While there are 2 port-o-potties (well maintained, to their credit), they would do well to add more facilities for the growing campground space, especially since checkout is 11am so most people want to use the bathrooms before they hit the road.
Gear Review
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products from time to time - today I am testing the Outdoor Travel Pack (https://greengoohelps.com/collections/first-aid/products/outdoor-travel-pack) from Green Goo. Inside the plastic carry case (probably a good airport toiletry bag when these things get used up) it comes with two lip balms, some bug spray repellent, and two different salves - a pai...
