Introducción
El Parque Nacional de White Sands, ubicado en Nuevo México, cuenta con extensas dunas de yeso que crean un paisaje único. Establecido como monumento nacional en 1933, atrae a visitantes por sus impresionantes arenas blancas y oportunidades recreativas como el senderismo y la fotografía.
El parque también alberga varios senderos, incluido el Paseo Interduna, que es accesible en silla de ruedas. Mientras exploras, ten cuidado con el delicado ecosistema y evita caminar sobre las costras criptobiológicas. El evento anual White Sands Hot Air Balloon Invitational añade un espectáculo colorido a los cielos sobre las dunas.
