Hotel Reservations near: WHITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT
Located near the site of the first atomic bomb explosion, White Sands National Monument in Southern New Mexico preserves a major portion of the world's largest gypsum dune field, along with the peculiar plants and animals that have adapted to this unforgiving environment. A few species have even evolved white coloration to blend with the sands.
One of the great natural wonders of the world, the snowy white dunes are about 10,000 years old. They can rise to more than 60 feet and cover over 275 square miles. Sand blows in from a seasonally wet lake bed where gypsum continues to form.
The park is open all year and is located 1 hour Northeast of Las Cruces, near Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Activities: Nature Walks, Hiking, Photography and Bird Watching.
