White Sands National Monument

One of the days we were in New Mexico we drove over to White Sands.  In case you're wondering, it's just a lot of white sand (actually it's gypsum).  No trees.  Not many shrubs. Nothing.  It actually looks like you're in the Antarctic, other than the blistering heat reflecting off the sand.  We wore SPF 50, yet started to burn in 20 minutes.  The sand itself is pretty cool, as it reflected all the heat.  You can sled down the dunes as well, which Noah did a few times.  After I crashed on hard packed sand, I gave up.
