Description
White Sands National Park covers 145,762 acres in the Tularosa Basin of the American Southwest. The white dunes, largest of their kind on earth, are made up of gypsum sand dissolved from the surrounding mountains and carried into the basin almost 12,000 years ago. In 1933 President Herbert Hoover designated the area as a national monument. It became a national park in 2019. The yucca plant and sand dunes were photographed from the Sunset Stroll area in White Sands National Park near Alamogordo, New Mexico, USA.
