Great Sand Dunes to Gunnison

Happy anniversary to us. We left our campsite and headed towards the Black Canyon of Gunnison. Our friend, Amy from Sanddrifts Board Rental, told us about the Great Sand Recreation Center. It has swimming, basketball, camping and other things. But it has what is called the Greenhouse, which is a real greenhouse where they used to grow tomatoes and other vegetables. The rules for producing and selling became too intense that they quit. The greenhouse then got turned into a 21+ hot tub area with four tubs ranging from 98° to 112°. The tubs are fed from hot springs. There are a lot of plants still in the greenhouse giving it a very peaceful look. We tried out all four tubs and the sauna. There is also a bar and food which we partook. It was a wonderful way to spend a few hours. Sometimes the most interesting stops come from talking to other people. We then got back on the road and traveled to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison where we are camping in the park campground.Baca selengkapnya
