§ 02 — OVERVIEW
Overview: Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders, the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert, creating the world's largest gypsum dunefield.
White Sands National Monument preserves a major portion of this unique dunefield, along with the plants and animals that live here. You're about to become part of an amazing legacy that stretches back in time over more than 10,000 years. Seemingly stark and barren, the 275 square miles of brilliant white gypsum sand dunes are home to an amazing diversity of life, weaving a spell over all who visit. The dunes offer countless opportunities for discovery and it is our sincere hope that you will have fun, make lifelong memories, and develop a deep connection to a place that has provided spiritual and physical sustenance to humankind for thousands of years. 2018 White Sands National Monument Events Lake Lucero Tours 2 pm Saturday, January 27 2 pm Sunday, February 25 9 am Saturday, March 24 9 am Sunday, April 29 10 am Saturday, Nov 24 10 am Saturday, Dec 29 Sunrise Arts 6:00 am Saturday, March 17 6:00 am Saturday, October 20 Full Moon Hikes 7:45 pm Monday, May 28 8:00 pm Wednesday, June 27 8:00 pm Thursday, July 26 7:30 pm Saturday, Aug 25 6:45 pm Sunday, Sept 23 6:00 pm Tuesday, Oct 23 Step through Time 10:00 am Saturday, November 3 Summary of Fees - White Sands National Monument Tours
