The Magic School Bus @ Great Sand Dunes NP! | House in Blanca
2 Bedroom House in Blanca
Welcome to the Magic Schoolbus! This elegantly repurposed school bus is the perfect location for your Great Sand Dunes adventure. We are at the corner of Highway 150&160 making it a very quick 10 minute drive to the park! The bus offers full amenities including shower and outhouse, as well as a full kitchen and very cozy wood-burning stove.
On a sunny afternoon, the best time to be at the dunes is about an hour two before sunset. The shadows that are cast by the sinking sun are absolutely spectacular! And then after hiking etc, you’ll likely be ready to pack up just in time for sunset. The beauty down there is truly something else!!
Zapata falls is a must on the list 2nd to the dunes. Great hike and awesome waterfall at the top. Theres also san luis valley lakes which has tons of wildlife and birds to see. Joyful journey is my top leisure suggestion. 12 dollars a person gets you an all day therapeutic hot spring and sauna visit. If you’re coming from Denver I’d recommend going the morning after your stay and then taking 285 through Salida back to Denver. It’s a breathtaking drive that only adds on 25 min or so!
There are several fantastic places to eat in the area. For breakfast try the biscuits and gravy at the Roast Cafe in Alamosa behind SLV brewing Co. (the best place to grab a drink) - They also have a great selection for lunch and dinner. Also in Alamosa is Cavillos. This is five star Mexican restaurant in my book. Lastly, there’s a great pizzeria called the purple pig. Closer to the bus in Blanca is Lu’s Cafe. They have breakfast lunch and dinner and is more of a diner feel (4.5 stars).
