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 Min
This one-mile loop takes about an hour and goes up and down the dunes through th
e 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 Stunde
Interdune Boardwalk
Dunes Dr, Alamogordo, United States
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 Min
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.
1h 30m
Alkali Flat Trail
White Sands National Monument, 19955 Highway 70 West, Alamogordo, Nm 88310, New Mexico, United States
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.
