Sand Dunes / Zapata Falls

We had a reunion with all of my sisters and their families.  The first day we played at the sand dunes and had a big picnic lunch.  Now these aren’t just dunes they are more like mountains of sand.  In some of the pictures you can see little dots in the background on the sand, those are people.

The small creek bed was completely dry this year.  SO we decided to head up to the nearby waterfall.  You walk up a little rocky trail to a creek.  Here are some of the slower hikers, visiting and helping little ones.  The other half of our group are on up ahead .

 

Then you walk in the creek into a cave, in which there is a beautiful waterfall.  You can see the entrance of the cave that Rebecca and Makayla are starting to go in.

  Ashley found a rock that she HAD to have.  I refused to carry any more and she carried it all the way down without complaint.

The view coming down was beautiful.  You could see the dunes down in the distance.  I love hiking with family because it is the perfect time to visit with each other.
