Overview
Welcome to White Sands National Park, where endless waves of gypsum sand dunes create a surreal landscape unlike any other.
As your audio tour guide, I'll lead you through this mesmerizing wonderland of pristine white sands spanning over 275 square miles.
Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty as sunlight dances off the dunes, painting the landscape with ever-changing hues.
Hear tales of the resilient desert flora and fauna adapted to thrive in this harsh environment.
Capture breathtaking views against the backdrop of azure skies, and don't miss the opportunity to sled down the soft slopes, a favorite pastime for visitors of all ages.
Let the whispers of the sands and the timeless charm of this unique natural masterpiece captivate your senses. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at White Sands National Park.
*Download the Shaka Guide app to access your purchased tours.*
The visitor center is part of the White Sands Historic District, a group of adobe buildings constructed during the Great Depression that adheres to the Pueblo Revival style.
At the visitor center, you can visit the small museum, watch the park film, browse through two gift shops, and purchase sleds if you'd like to try sledding on the sand dunes.
20 minutes
N/A
This short and very easy trail takes you to a dried lakebed or a playa. Informational panels interpret what the playa looks like, and what kinds of animals it attracts, throughout the seasons. The trail is about a half-mile round trip and flat.
15 minutes
N/A
This one-mile loop takes about an hour and goes up and down the dunes through the interdunal area, or the transition zone between the desert scrubland and the sand dunes.
Because of a few steep climbs and the general difficulty of hiking through sand, this hike is rated as moderate. But the reward is walking through a unique ecosystem.
1 hour
Interdune Boardwalk
This is a must-stop for everyone. The Interdune Boardwalk is an ADA-accessible elevated path through the interdunal area.
If you're not able to try the Dune Life Nature Trail, this one's a great alternative. A couple of covered seating areas offer shade on this half-mile round-trip walk.
20 minutes
N/A
White Sands features a backcountry camping area, with remote campsites out among the dunes. However, the trail to the campsites is open to anyone.
It's a two-mile loop and rated moderate because of the difficulty of hiking up and down sand dunes.
However, this trail is a good alternative if you want to experience being out in the dunes without attempting the more difficult Alkali Flat trail.
1 hour 30 minutes
Alkali Flat Trail
Alkali Flat is the dried lakebed of the ancient Lake Otero, where the white sands are formed.
To reach the edge of the flat, hike this five-mile round-trip hike through the sand dunes.
Because of the length, and the continued challenge of hiking through sand, this is rated as a difficult hike.

Must do in El Paso area!

Great restaurants and enjoyed high tea at a downtown hotel. Loved sledding and driving through White Sands National Park.
A surprise in the desert
Published on Jun, 2024
Of eight recently visited National Parks, this is a top three. It’s surprising in its vastness and beauty. Be sure to bring plenty of water and use sunscreen, as the sun reflects off the sand. The temp may seem cooler, but you’ll burn.
Beautiful excursion
Published on Mar, 2024
The audio I paid for through trip advisor is free through national parks. That was a waste of money also did not know where you even redeem the audio. Do not purchase this. The place is beautiful and a lot of fun. Wear sunscreen. You can picnic there. It is $25 per car to enter the park. You can purchase boards to go down the slide those are $25 each at their gift shop. Have fun!
