Photo by @michaelclarkphoto // Katie Mast taking a walk in White Sands National Monument near Alamogordo, New Mexico. White Sands is one of my favorite places in #newmexico. It is like being in Antarctica but it is warm. Sunrise and sunset are both magical in terms of the light. The fine gypsum also feels great between the toes. In summer it can be crazy hot so the spring and fall are the best time to visit. #whitesands
