Points of Interest
Stop At: White Sands Visitor Center
19955 U.S. 70, Alamogordo, NM 88310
The visitor center is part of the White Sands Historic District, a group of adobe buildings constructed during the Great Depression that adheres to the Pueblo Revival style. At the visitor center, you can visit the small museum, watch the park film, browse through two gift shops, and purchase sleds if you'd like to try sledding on the sand dunes.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Interdune Boardwalk
Dunes Dr, Alamogordo, New Mexico
This short and very easy trail takes you to a dried lakebed or a playa. Informational panels interpret what the playa looks like, and what kinds of animals it attracts, throughout the seasons. The trail is about a half-mile round trip and flat.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Alkali Flat Trail
White Sands National Monument, 19955 Highway 70 West, Alamogordo, Nm 88310, New Mexico
This one-mile loop takes about an hour and goes up and down the dunes through the interdunal area, or the transition zone between the desert scrubland and the sand dunes. Because of a few steep climbs and the general difficulty of hiking through sand, this hike is rated as moderate. But the reward is walking through a unique ecosystem.
Duration: 1 hour
