Presentazione generale
White Sands National Park
Immense field of white gypsum dunes at the foot of the mountains of the Tularosa Basin.
The discovery of White Sands National Park is based on Dune Life Nature Trail, Alkali Flat Trail and Interdune Boardwalk. The stay thus alternates between desert areas and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and panorama
Dune Life Nature Trail
Dune Life Nature Trail The signs help to spot traces, burrows and plants adapted to moving sand, making walking more attentive than a simple white crossing.
Nature and panorama
Alkali Flat Trail
Alkali Flat Trail The route is driven through the most open dunes of White Sands, where the white of the gypsum almost erases the landmarks. The route is demanding by heat, wind or strong light, but it gives the rare sensation of moving forward in a mineral sea with constantly remodeled ridges.
Place indismissible
Interdune Boardwalk
Interdune Boardwalk offers an easy approach to the dunes of White Sands, thanks to a bridge between light sand, yuccas and low plants. The short course is suitable for observing the adaptations of the desert, the traces of animals and the shades of white without engaging in a long walk.
Nature and panorama
Playa Trail
Playa Trail leads to an old, damp, desert bowl, sometimes dry, sometimes marked by traces of water depending on the season. This short trail shows a less spectacular but very eloquent facet of White Sands: the role of basins, salts and evaporation cycles in the formation of the landscape.
