White Sands is a unique area in southern New Mexico, known for its stunning gypsum sand dunes that create a vast desert landscape covering 275 square miles. Originally protected as a National Monument in 1933, it was designated as White Sands National Park in 2019.
The area holds significant cultural and historical importance, having been home to various Native American peoples for thousands of years, as evidenced by archaeological discoveries of tools, pottery, and ancient footprints preserved in the gypsum. The region also played a crucial role in American military history, particularly during World War II and the Cold War era, as it borders the White Sands Missile Range.
Today, the area serves as an important center for both scientific research and cultural heritage, offering visitors insight into the natural history of the American Southwest and the diverse peoples who have inhabited this remarkable landscape.
