Today we explored White Sands National Park in New Mexico about 40 miles east of Los Cruces. Wow!
The National Park is completely surrounded by the White Sands Missile Range! The park covers 145,762 acres and is a field of white sand dunes composed of gypsum crystals. This gypsum dunefield is the largest of its kind on Earth, with a depth of about 30 feet, dunes as tall as 60 feet and about 4.5 billion tons of gypsum sand.
The sand is so white it is truly blinding in the bright sun. One of the rangers told us that people get lost frequently because they think they will just follow their footprints, only to find the wind had removed all signs of their path.
This was an amazing park and highly recommend a visit!
