Introduksjon
White Sands nasjonalpark, som ligger i New Mexico, har store gipsdyner som skaper et unikt landskap. Parken ble etablert som et nasjonalt monument i 1933, og tiltrekker seg besøkende med sine slående hvite sandstrender og muligheter for aktiviteter som fotturer og fotografering.
Parken har også flere stier, inkludert Interdune Boardwalk, som er tilgjengelig for rullestolbrukere. Når du utforsker, vær oppmerksom på det delikate økosystemet og unngå å gå på de kryptobiotiske skorpe. Den årlige White Sands Hot Air Balloon Invitational tilfører et fargerikt skue til himmelen over dynene.
