Day 254 - White Sands, New Mexico

 We said our goodbyes to our friends and headed for White Sands National Park (formerly National Monument, the newest National Park).


Just like Tahoe in the winter!

It was really cool. The sand is really soft and cool, and we enjoyed the hike with our shoes off in the sand.

There was a good boardwalk hike that I was able to manage and a great loop drive that gave us a good view of the inner dunes. The children attempted to slide down the dunes on our boogie boards, but found that just rolling down them was a lot more fun (and effective).



We are spending the night at a BLM site, Valley of Fires. We love BLM sites and glad to be back where they can be found, There was a great sunset just as we arrived, having decided that enough driving had been done for the day and not relishing another hour before getting to the mix reviews campsite that we had called to determining that they had space, but didn't have a paid reservation.
