White Sands National Park 🏞️ New Mexico
It’s about 3.5 hours from Carlsbad Caverns to White Sands National Park in New Mexico. White Sands was not our favorite, but the sand is still neat and I bet people get amazing family photos here. We did not stay long, and you really could just be here a few hours. #storytime #lemon8conte
