Containing the largest field of gypsum white sand dunes in the world (275 square miles), White Sands National park in New Mexico is a stunning sight to behold.

The best way to see the park is by Dunes Drive, a glorious 8-mile road through the dunefields along which you’ll find 9-miles of hiking trails and plenty of places to camp.

Sledding is among the most popular activities in Whites Sands National Park, even in the warm summer months. Purchase a waxed plastic snow saucer from the park’s gift shop and explore this national park like no other!
