You’ll want to plan a road trip to White Sands National Park, formerly White Sands National Monument. Located in New Mexico on U.S. Route 70, the gypsum white sand dunes are great for sand sledding and a must if you’re planning to visit America’s parks.
White Sands New Mexico is the newest national park in the United States and an easy drive from El Paso, Las Cruces, and Alamogordo. One of many things to do in New Mexico, you can hike white sands, picnic, go sledding in sand dunes, and enjoy a spectacular sunset as the colors reflect off the pure white gypsum sand.
At 275 square miles, the White Sands dune field is the world’s largest gypsum dunefield. The finely grained gypsum is soft, like powder, doesn’t absorb the heat so you can walk barefoot and not burn your toesies, and perfect for dune sledding.
The best time to visit White Sands National Park is April through October. Cost to visit is $25 per car, $15 for solo drivers, or get in free with your America the Beautiful Pass.
