			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After shooting<a title="Sand Dune Adventures Post 1" href="http://www.steve-z.com/great-sand-dunes-sunrise-day-1/" target="_blank"><strong> the sunrise photos</strong></a>, Melissa and I headed up to the dunes for some hiking and sandboarding.  What is sand boarding you ask?!? Well, the dunes are steep enough to actually ride down on skis or a snowboard.  I chose an old snowboard, since there doesn&#8217;t seem to be anything fun about hiking up the dunes with heavy ski boots!</p>
<p>We got up on the dunes a little bit late that day.  So it was good to do some test runs and find out which dunes had the best runs.  But we knew that the real money shots would come the next morning, when we would set out in the dark to be at the top at sunrise.</p>
<p>We spent the afternoon hanging out in a coffee shop in Crestone, staying out of the sun and refueling with coffee and sandwiches.  On the drive back from Crestone to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, we spotted a cool old building, and did an impromptu shoot that <a title="Abandoned Building Photo Shoot Near Great Sand Dunes" href="http://www.steve-z.com/there-arent-enough-abandoned-buildings-in-boulder/" target="_blank"><strong>I posted earlier</strong></a>.</p>
<p>On the way back into the park, the light was just starting to lower. We decided that the best way to be at the dunes at sunrise was going to be to camp out on the dunes&#8230;</p>
