White Sands

In the heart of New Mexico lies the world’s largest deposit of gypsum sand dunes, White Sands National Park. Hike an almost barren landscape of abstract shape and shadow, a testament to millennia of wind and water erosion. In this unique ecosystem visitors explore scenic trails, witness breathtaking sunsets and enjoy dune activities like sledding or horseback riding. The park is also home to curious wildlife like the bleached earless lizard and Apache pocket mouse known for their white coloring not found among other populations of the same species.
