White Sands is the largest desert of gypsum in the world, but above all it is one of the world's great wonders! All this white gives you a sense of pure joy, euphoria (a mental and emotional state defined as a profound sense of well being).
This is such a fascinating area, it seems that everyone entering this amazing place, leave any sadness at the entrance. Just like the snow often bring excitement, white sands give you joy and excitement, without the cold. You can play for hours in this immense 'sandbox' until sunset....then it turn itself as such a beauty, you'll be in awe! What was blue and white so far turn multicolored, with pink, orange, red colors, it is simply fascinating to watch and hard to turn away from it.
Early morning and late afternoon are definitely the best time to witness this pure beauty and immerse yourself into this inspiring desert. The shadows of the dunes gives you more relief.
If you go with your kids, (or just want to retrieve your inner child...) bring or purchase a luge (a small one- or two-person sled) and enjoy the play area...
