White Sands

On Wednesday, we went to White Sands National Monument,  located about 16 miles south of Alamogordo New Mexico.  The area is in the mountain-ringed Tularosa Basin and comprises a 275 square miles field of white sand dunes composed of gypsum crystals. It is the largest gypsum dune field in the world.  You can learn more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Sands_National_Monument.

We hiked all over the dunes and took pictures at sunset.  Here are some of them.
