Beautiful place, the sand is so white it looks like snow. Don't stray off too far from any marked paths as it's too easy to get disoriented and lost, you could die from heat exhaustion and dehydration

Park was really well maintained. The view was absolutely magical! Arrived early in the morning in winter & the sand was moist & FREEZING cold! Dog thought it was snow...until he tasted it. ;-)

Love this place. Try to go there for sunrise or sunset . Breath taking view . Buy sledge from visitor center if you want to play in sand. Store buy back sledge once you are done using.

This place is amazing and fun for all ages. Bring water as it gets hot, but go barefoot because the gypsum sand does not get hot. Barely warm on the surface and cool beneath.

Stunning place and a surreal experience. Come for sunrise/sunset - magical. Week before daylight savings end is optimal to catch both without paying early in/out fees. Bring a headlamp if staying late

The sunset tour starts at 6:45 and is fairly interesting from a geological perspective. Leave your shoes in the car, and grab your camera . Sensational sunsets , so go in the evenings when it's cooler.

Photographers ! Check out these vintage Documerica photos taken 40 years ago. Take a photo of the White Sands area today and share it with our State of the Environment Photo Project. Read more

Drive in to the end of road , park and hike over several dunes to get away from people and enjoy the beauty and solitude

This is super cool and you need to do it. Constantly shifting sands mean it will never be the same twice! Very windy here obviously

Spectacular place. Can easily complete all spots in 2-3 hours except the alkali trail which is a 5 mile loop.

Check the forecast. Wind can be a little difficult here. Worlds largest gypsum deposit. Worth driving thru and walking on the white sand but I wouldn’t make it your destination.

The white sands is just stunning and beautiful. It's just simply mesmerizing!

You'll forget you're in New Mexico surrounded by mountains when you get to White Sands . Grab a saucer and some wax from the gift shop to slide down the dunes on.

You can see white sands wherever you go. Perfect place for pre-wedding photo shoot. Beautiful ????

Head to Alamogordo (and bring the sled ) for a glistening white sand desert surrounded by dramatic mountains . Read more

A great family day trip...wander around the dunes and get some great photos. No food onsite, and remember to bring water.

One of the most beautiful spots on earth. Hiking can be difficult in a white wasteland of sand. Bring lots of water and keep your compass straight.

Make your propose special and unforgettable!

Buy the sleds and search for the steepest sand dunes to truly enjoy white sands . Don't forget to pack a lunch !

To clarify: the "saucers" found here are small discs the humans use to ride the dunes. Not our kind. Fun place, though. Sand felt good between my three toes.

Dec. 19, 2013: The Monument is open until 6 pm today. Join the Sunset Sroll at 4 pm sharp. Meet place is 4 miles in on Dunes Drive at the sign.

It may look scary, but you need an extremely steep dune to actually be able to slide down

Visit the world's largest gypsum dune field . Check out the monument 's visitor center on US 70.

Bring plenty of water if you're going to be here for several hours, especially in summer

Def go for the sunset trail and nice place to do star gazing !

There is a free sunset tour every day.

Finishing the Alkali Flat Trail feels like a heck of an acomplishment. But people please, take your trash with you.

Carry water when hiking , especially in the summer!

Amazing sunsets and a beautiful view of the dunes! A great place to check off you bucket list! :)

awesome place! so beautiful. make sure to bring water. don't do the sunset tour...kinda boring

Romantic sunset !♡

Unnnnnreal sprawling sand dunes !!!

Rent a sled and sled the dunes. Early Oct is a great time to visit

Really nice views , but not the adrenaline rush we expected going sledding . We still had a lot of fun!

Absolutely one of the most unique places on earth, take the time to stop and check it out

Camel man lives here :)

It looks like a wonder wonderland!

Take the sunset stroll!

Gypsum sand has no taste!
