Josh & I visited here on our first trip in 2011, however, on that trip, we didn't arrive in the park until late morning, and we had very limited time there.
This time, we're hoping to be able to hike to the top of High Dune, which is about 700 feet high. Josh is really hoping to go "sandboarding". We'll have to see what will be involved in renting a sand-board in terms of time & cost.
After we leave the park, we have a long drive ahead of us to our destination for the night, Amarillo, Texas.
Along the way, we'll be passing about 45 miles from the Philmont Scout Ranch. Next Summer, Josh & I will be joining a group of Scouts and adult leaders from our Boy Scout Troop on a 12 day wilderness backpacking trek at Philmont. It would be really cool to be able go and check the place out, but we're not going to have time for that.
On the morning of day 20, we have the longest drive of our trip waiting for us. We'll be driving from Amarillo, TX across Oklahoma to Hot Springs, Arkansas.
It's going to be a long day!
