White Sands is the largest gypsum dune field in the world. It is located in the northern end of the Chihuahuan Desert in New Mexico. It is approximately a total of 275 square miles with only 115 miles available to the White Sands National Monument and the public. The remaining fields are on military land. The gypsum origins are from what now is most commonly called Lake Lucero. The most active dunes are moving at a rate of up to 30 feet a year. Lake Lucero is on military land and accessible to the public by guided tours only. Reservations are needed for the guided tours. When visiting White Sands it's necessary have plenty of water and be protected from the elements as it's easy to become lost.

« My wife and I were more than satisfied with our stay. We stayed three nights. The cottage was clean, spacious and perfect for two people. We stayed over Christmas so nothing was open. We grocery shopped the night we got there and made meals at the cottage. The yard was very spacious and great for basking in the sun. There was a little boy playing with his remote control car in the orchord on Christmas morning. It was refreshing to see as we did not travel with our children and made the...

« Absolutely loved our stay! This cabin is a hidden gem—tucked away in a peaceful, secluded location surrounded by tall pines and beautiful trees. It offered the perfect mix of privacy and nature, making it feel like our own little retreat. The setting was incredibly serene, and we truly appreciated the quiet and calm. One of our favorite features was the small pond nearby—it added such a charming, picturesque touch and made the experience even more special. Whether you’re looking to unwind,...

« The place was absolutely beautiful, big and spacious for everyone and the pool table was definitely used everyday of our stay!

Other then those issues we enjoyed our stay, the rooms were clean, the...

« This was an amazingly cozy, clean, comfortable, and perfect stay! The host was very helpful and kind and the place was so welcoming and beautiful. I can't wait to book here again :) I really appreciated the amenities and the bed offered us the best sleep we've had in a while (so comfortable!) I loved the view in the mornings from the porch as sun was coming up and the rocking chair-bench. Fire place was lovely to enjoy as well and the temperature stayed perfect inside for us. Even our first...

« The home was located very near to a cross roads, meaning that I could go straight and the road lead to the north east side of town where my relatives were all meeting for two day, I could turn right and go to my fathers home near red sands, I could turn left and go to 2 of my cousins houses one a few miles away and the other lives on the west side, or stop in down town, or go back the way i came to go to my aunts and the house i grew up in or go home to New Braunfels Tx »
