WHITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT
ALAMOGORDO,
NEW MEXICO
600,000 years ago, an ancient gypsum sea dried up and became what is now White Sands National Monument. What looks like sugary-white sand is actually gypsum broken down in sand form.

Here, in a desert so big you can see it from outer space, the endless dunes are a recreational site for sand surfing, camping, seekers of spiritual experiences, and epic sunsets.

Over time, the plants and animals have evolved to also be white and therefore camouflage with its surroundings. A truly unique sight, this desert has a rich history spanning indigenous vision quests, legends of hidden treasures, and even stories of holding portals to alternate dimensions.
