Being in the Middle of the Desert and feeling like you're in Alaska is a very strange feeling. Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico.

Here, great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert and created the world's largest gypsum dune field. Imagine driving through a desert and suddenly being transported into a winter wonderland, yet still be in desert like heat.

That's what it feels like to be in the middle of White Sands National Monument when your views from Horizon to Horizon is solid white drifts

Great spot for pictures, and amazing during the sunset
