White Sands: The Dunes

I can't even explain what it was like to walk through the "backcountry" of White Sands. All it takes is climbing over a few dunes for you to feel like you're in the middle of no where, miles from anyone. Sleeping in the "backcountry", an area that starts a mere 3/4's of a mile, from the parking lot, is the only way to experience the dunes. Sunset and sunrise is when the dunes are in all of their glory. I've never felt like I was on another planet more in my life.

Please enjoy a few photos of the dunes. If only photographs could do this place justice.
