One of the most famous and spectacular places located in New Mexico is the White Sands National Monument. This unique spot, located near the town of Alamogordo, is the world's biggest field of white gypsum. Its shimmering white sand dunes span over 275 square miles and create a picturesque landscape of mounds and valleys. Visitors can explore the incredibly surreal dunes by hiking, camping, and enjoying a variety of recreational activities. Wildlife and plants of all sorts have adapted to life in the desert. On a clear day, you may even get a glimpse of the majestic mountain peaks of distant mountain ranges. The formations of the dunes create a limitless array of shapes and sizes, each more breathtaking than the last. Be sure to bring a camera to capture the unique beauty of the White Sands National Monument.
