WANDER 📺 TUBE: Montville Nature Loop trail @ Mosca, CO

Short and beautiful trail near the Great Sand Dunes National Park (more video to come from that!) in Colorado. I took this trail from the campground to the visitor center to pick up some maps.

The snow was melting off the mountains, feeding ice-cold water into the creeks below.

For those wanting longer hikes, the Mosca Pass trail picks up from Montville and runs around 7 miles in a loop.

I was camped at the nearby Pinon Flats campground for a couple days. While it’s not my typical kinda campground (i.e. too big, too many people, too developed, etc - most national park campgrounds are this way) it was actually pretty nice and you’re camped right next to the sand dunes, making for great wanderings.

I’ve deliberately muted these videos so you can experience it as I do as a deaf person in the wild. I know some of you will miss hearing the surrounding audio but think of total silence as different auditory experience.
