Even though we only spent one day here, it was one of the most memorable experiences I have had out West. A perfect mix of playing like kids and romantic date on the beach.
Right away we decided to buy sleds for sliding down the dunes. This was super fun and I highly recommend it. Unless of course you are not prepared to laugh intensely and act as if you were 10 years old again! The white gypsum sand never got hot in the summer sun and felt great to walk on, although the super fine particles stuck to everything they touched. Afterwards we laid out a tarp, listened to music, and watched the sun set. It feel like an amazing day out at the beach, minus the water and add mountains off in the distance.
The sunset was incredible. This coming from a true sunset chaser – I plan trips around watching that beautiful ball of light hit the horizon. I have run down mountains with little to no light just so I could be up top to watch the beautiful show of lights as the sun falls. This evening at White Sands did not disappoint. It was one of the greatest sunsets I’ve ever witnessed and if I am ever nearby again, I’ll definitely be stopping by.
