Best White Sands National Monument Tours & Trips

Explore 275 square miles of gleaming white sand at these unique New Mexico dunes that look more like a landscape painting than an actual destination. White Sands National Monument in the Tularosa Basin near the City of Alamogordo was established in 1933 and the area was first noted by United States military officers in 1849. It is the world's largest sand dune field made of gypsum crystals and is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Be sure to stop by the monument's pueblo Visitor's Center that has an information desk, museum, orientation video, gift shop and restrooms. Show All
