Troop 548 sold over 5,000 boxes of cookies this year and used the money to fund their summer trip. They voted to go rafting and explore southern Colorado by visiting the Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls.

The girls and moms rafted the Arkansas River with Arkansas River Tours and had a great time on the river in Bighorn Sheep Canyon. Afterwards the troop headed for the Sand Dunes where they climbed High Dune, the 2nd highest dune in the park. We also went to the Visitor Center and watched the interpretive programs about the park. The troop attended an ice cream social at the campground center to finish off the evening.

The final morning, we hiked to Zapata Falls near the Sand Dunes Park. It was a very cold hike as we waded through the stream to get to the falls. The weather was great and the girls and moms had an awesome time. Who knows where we will go next??
