The flight to Denver was uneventful. At the airport, I had to make a choice of cars to rent (Emerald Club) and ended up selecting a Nissan Rogue. It turned out to be a great choice (for me). The seats were comfortable, it had all of the new driving aids (adaptive cruise control is still the important one), CarPlay and Sirius radio and 4WD. And it got about 30 miles per gallon.
We stopped for a fast food lunch and a stop at a grocery store on the way down.
There were thunderstorms on the way down - there were flash flood warnings in the area.
We made it to Fort Garland and then immediately went to the Great Sand Dunes National Park (in the rain). Took our first selfie.
Got our first selfie with a National Park sign - apologize for the glare from my head, but you can sort of tell it was overcast and raining.... (And I need to work on my selfie technique - or maybe I need a selfie-stick....)
And made it to the visitor center, but that was about all. We were pretty tired.
