White Sands – Ranked as One of America’s Most Unique National Parks

20 Feb White Sands – Ranked as One of America’s Most Unique National Parks

Travel+Leisure has this to say about one of New Mexico’s most otherworldly gems: “You might expect to see such a bright white in the middle of Antarctica or on a tropical, sandy beach, but White Sands National Monument is neither of these things. This national park in New Mexico is home to the largest area of gypsum sand dunes, making it a truly otherworldly destination in our own backyard. The sand may look like snow, but it can definitely get hot out there. Bring water and a sled, because it’s also a popular place for sand dune sledding.”
