We woke up at sunrise (which is hard, even when sleeping in the car) and took in the beauty of the canyon one last time. We saw a coyote running alongside the road as we headed out, which made the entire trip worth it for Emily. We drove back through Southern Colorado, stopped in Alamosa for mexican food, then took a side trip to the Great Sand Dunes at sunset. The Aspens were bright yellow against the dark green pines surrounding the dunes. The background was a stormy deep blue sky, but the sun was still shining and the only visitors were us a family of deer, including a little fawn that Emily tracked down in the bushes.
