USA | New Mexico | White Sands National Park
This is not your typical view of white sand. White Sands National Park is the world's largest gypsum dune field.
Located in the Tularosa Basin in southern New Mexico, visitors can indulge in this landscape by hiking through trails and partaking in educational programs led by the park rangers. If you're looking for some extra fun, you can try sledding down the dunes!
