white sands

Checked into our hotel in Las Cruces and then took off across the missile fields on our way to White Sands National Monument. Stopped at the visitor's center to pick up some pins and another stamp in our National Park Passport and surprisingly, sleds and wax. The ranger said to just head to the end of the drive where the asphalt turns to packed down sand.  We parked and trekked across the beautiful dunes to find a perfect hill with just enough incline and range. There were a few unnerving and spooky rocket noises that made it even more surreal. The boys traded off the go pro on a headband as they swooped down the dunes on their well waxed sleds.  There were so many ridges that we almost got lost trying to head back to our car ;)
