We finally made our way to Great Sand Dune National Park near the end of the Golden Hour (sigh!), the sun was about to disappear behind the sand dune (sigh-sigh!).
The water sight scared me (I can't swim); why was it flooded, it's supposed to be nothing but dry sand!?!
I knew it for a fact for I was there in Sep '2019!!!
As we got closer, we saw that it's just a few inches of water, very walkable without shoes and sock (sigh a big relief!).
Little did I know that for a few months each year, the melting of the snowfields in nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains flowed into Medano Creek, which then flowed into the basin of the sand dunes, where it turned into a wide and shallow stream.
As the melted snow trickled down to the sand ridges, it created many underwater ridges in the sand that build up and break every 20 seconds, which then produced waves in the creek, a phenomenon known as Surge Flow.
Live and learn!
