Stormy Sunset - White Sands National Monument


After our May 2015 Sunset Stroll with Ranger Carmen was cancelled due to  lightning, we drove on out Dunes Drive to the large Alkali Flat trailhead parking area where I took pictures of the sunset through the clouds and the cloud reflections on the water covering the packed sand parking area.













An entrance fee of $3 per person is required to enter the dunes. The fee is valid for seven days. Other options include a White Sands National Monument Annual Pass for $20, an Interagency Annual Pass providing access to most national park, national forest and BLM fee areas for $80 and a lifetime Interagency Senior Pass for those age 62 and older for $10. Special events such as Lake Lucero tours, full moon bike rides and full moon hikes require reservations and additional fees of $8 per person.
