Another reason I wanted to get back to New Mexico was to visit White Sands National Park again. I saw the park back in the eighties and then I had nice photos on film but taken after I arrive in the summer at 4PM and then there was not much time to see things.
Now, I departed Santa Fe early and arrived just after lunch. Still a 4 hour drive through the desert but I knew the area well as I drove it a few years ago on my way to the Three Rivers Petroglyph area. I did then not have enough time to continue to White Sands as it was dark already.
Here are some images of the beautiful national Park:
and a nice panorama view:
Definitely worth visiting.
