About White Sands National Monument

The glistening white sands of New Mexico stand as one of the planet’s natural marvels. Nestled in the Tularosa Basin’s heart, the magnificent, wave-like dunes of gypsum sand envelop 275 square miles of desert, marking the largest gypsum dune field on the globe. White Sands National Monument conserves a significant part of this dune field, along with its unique plants and animals. Visiting this awe-inspiring location offers an experience akin to entering another world. Open to visitors every day except Christmas, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the surreal beauty of White Sands National Monument.
