If you haven’t already read about our Eclipse Adventure here, you should go read that now – we’ll be wait for you 😉 It provides a lot of good back story for this post! haha. So there we were in Wyoming. We found a place to set up our tent on Saturday and we had all day Sunday to do something since the eclipse wasn’t until Monday. We went back to the Glendo State Park (where we initially wanted to camp) and planned on getting a day pass to hike, adventure, and explore. We brought our swim suits because we knew there was a reservoir but we were unsure if we would be able to swim in it.
When we got up to the gate, we were informed that a day pass was only $6 per car (which is nothing compared to some Colorado parks) and we also asked about swimming. We were handed a HUGE map and the lady pointed out several places to swim telling us we really could swim wherever we wanted. We say “Sandy Beach” as one of the places on the map and thought that would be a fun place to hang out. We were right! The beach was so sandy, it really felt like we were at the ocean!
We found a spot to hang out with our towels and our cooler and had a surprise beach day. I said this in the last post, but nothing about this trip was planned. This is very not normal at all for us but ended up working out which completely surprised me! We had no idea we would have a lazy beach day that Sunday!

I haven’t been to the beach in a long time–these pictures are SO fun!
Thanks!! I know, it was fun to find a land locked beach to hang at!
I love your high-waisted swimsuit bottoms! I need to update my swimsuit soooo badly…I really should go do that now since there will probably be tons of sales, but then I’m unmotivated because the summer’s basically over, ha ha. So it goes!
Thanks!! I love love them!! I only wear high waisted ones!
Gotta love a good beach day! That’s the one thing I wish Colorado had more of-natural lakes. My Midwestern friends always laugh at me when I talk about our “lakes” in CO, or the reservoirs, lol. Still gotta appreciate it!
Yes!! We have like no water here!
What fun! Sometimes it’s wonderful to go on an adventure without knowing how it’s going to turn out!
It’s true!
the water looks amazing!!! almost like the ocean….. almost=) It’s probably a lot warmer than the water near me!
I know! It is crazy! And yes, it was pretty warm!!!
How fun!! Those last wonderful summer days are the best. 🙂

Yes girl!
What an impressive beach for only $6 per car for park entrance!!! You’d think it would cost more just so they could import all that sand! Haha. Also your suit is adorable & so modest! I love it!
I know right?!!? and we could also hike and do whatever!! Also, thanks so much!!!
