Places // White Sands, New Mexico

I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico from August of 2011 to December of 2013. I knew very little of the Land of Enchantment most of my life, and now I can’t believe I was fortunate enough to have experienced first hand one of the most remarkable places in the country. New Mexico truly is a well kept secret. However, during my time there, I never made it down to this amazing landmark, the White Sands National Monument. On a recent work trip back to New Mexico, I planned a little day trip with some friends. The 6 hour round trip in one day to get here? Totally worth it.
