Sunset on the Dunes - White Sands National Monument

We revisited White Sands National Monument on our February 2018 trip to California. I wrote about our previous visit in May 2015 in these seven posts:

• Alkali Flat Trail
• Interdune Boardwalk
• Mid-Day on Dunes Drive
• Morning along Dunes Drive
• Stormy Sunset
• Sunset Stroll
• Visitor Center

White Sands National Monument is located about 16 miles southwest of Alamogordo, New Mexico. The entrance is located immediately north of US 70. From the entrance, we drove 7½ miles on Dunes Drive to the parking area for the Alkali Flat Trail and then hiked across a couple of dunes to get a higher viewpoint for sunset.

A $5 per person entry fee is collected at White Sands National Monument. Any of the America the Beautiful passes allow admission for the pass holder and three other adults.
