    These dunes are made for walking . . .
    And that's just what we did.

    The largest gypsum dunefield in the world covers 275 square miles and has settled over the Chihuahuan Desert in southern New Mexico.

    The White Sands National Monument is nestled in-between the Sacramento Mountains to the east and the San Andreas Mountains to the west affording spectacular views all around.

    Finished up the day at a little Mexican restaurant called Margo's with wine margaritas.
