White Sands National Park - A Desert of Stories.

Standing atop a dune surrounded by endless rolling waves of brilliant white sand, it is almost impossible to imagine how much life, history, and storytelling this place holds.

Take a moment at sunrise, when silence fills the desert, and reflect on all the people who have walked the same sands: from the Mescalero Apaches, to ranchers driving cattle across the basin, to the park rangers protecting this fragile environment today.
