White Sands National Park
Like No Place Else on Earth
Congratulations to one of America's newest national park, receiving its new designation on December 16, 2019! Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Great wavelike dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert, creating the world's largest gypsum dunefield. White Sands National Park preserves a major portion of this unique dunefield, along with the plants and animals that live here.
