White Sands National Park
These are two of my absolute favorite places that make excellent day trips to venture outside of El Paso!
🚗White Sands is stunning and with the cooler weather it's the perfect time to grab a sled and ride down some sand dunes!
🚗 Cloudcroft is a little bit of a longer drive but totally worth it! With the Lincoln National Forest this little town is surrounded by beauty. With little shops and restaurants you can enjoy some of the charm the town has to over and then take a scenic drive up the mountain into the heart of the forest! #placestovisit #lemon8challenge White Sands National Park Cloudcroft

Not far from the park is Cloudcroft, a quaint mountain village where visitors can enjoy local eateries and shops. The scenic drive through Lincoln National Forest leading to Cloudcroft is a notable highlight, showcasing beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Whether you plan to explore the surreal white sands or the picturesque mountain town, both locations promise memorable day trip experiences from El Paso. Make sure to pack your sled when visiting White Sands, as sliding down the dunes is a must-do activity! For those seeking a more tranquil escape, Cloudcroft offers a peaceful retreat with its forest trails and charming atmosphere.
