Holloman AFB – New Mexico White Sands National Park

We were able to grab a lakeside spot on BLM land. The entrance was a little tight, but Mitch managed to navigate his way through. The sunsets and star-filled nights were a welcomed sight. The next day, we visited White Sands National Park. It wasn’t as majestic as the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado, and the height of the dunes could not compare to those of the Great Sands. This park reminded me more of Florida’s dunes on Clearwater Beach. The sand was hard, unlike the Great Sands, where you immediately sunk into the sand and struggled to get to the next step.

As we rode through the park, the white sand made it necessary to wear sunglasses. In each dune we passed, people could be seen gliding down on plastic sledding saucers, having a good time. There were also several that pitched a sun canopy relaxing to spend the day. We were glad we arrived at the park early because as we departed, the line to get into the park was backed up to the entrance.

We also rode into town and visited a pistachio farm. I never knew the nut came from a tree. Of course, we couldn’t leave without having some pistachio ice cream. Yummy!
