White Sands National Monument, NM

White Sands National Monument is a huge gypsum dune field. All of the dunes are about the same height, which is about 3 stories tall. Besides the white sands themselves, you'll find plantlife and a special lizard if you are lucky. Bring your sunglasses because the white sands are blinding!

This white lizard can only be found at White Sands National Monument.  Surprisingly he wasn't that difficult to find.  Maybe I got lucky?

White Sands National Monument is made of drifting, blinding gypsum.  Bring your sunglasses!!!!  Roads will take you in quite a ways, and you can hike/scale as many dunes as you like.  They aren't that high, maybe 2-3 stories at the most.  You'll see intricate ripples and the occasional plant such as this soaptree yucca.
