White Sands Monument

We rented a sled this weekend and took the boys up to White Sands Monument for the first time.  The gate isn't far from the house, but once you go through the gate you drive about 13 miles before you get to the place to park and ride your sled, and there is sand as far as the eye could see.  I have no idea how many miles of sand there actually is.  The sand is all white as snow, and even though we thought it would be hot sand since we were in a dessert it was surprisingly cool and nice to dig your toes into.  We all had a blast taking turns sledding down the big sand dunes and there was even a picnic area with grills and stuff that we will know to utilize next time!
