Went camping Colorado at Spanish Peaks and Great Sand Dunes. These first ones are from Zapata Waterfall where we actually camped. It was mosquito infested but the respected the wind smoke and deet rule so it wasn't so bad.

Then of course great sand dunes. I was surprised by the quality of the view from the overlook but the hike to it while short was horrendous. So terrible were the mosquitoes that Nick and I were forced to sprint for about a quarter mile of it. Reminded me of the home country in the fields of North Dakota.

We didn't actually camp in Spanish Peaks but a neighboring wilderness area. We were unimpressed for many reasons with the camping area. There's a campground near the hike up west Spanish Peak that though it is without water looks to be the place to stay.
