On this day in 1933, White Sands was established as a National Monument (it is now a National Park, re-designated in 2019).
Depending on the time of day and weather, the reflective gypsum crystals of the dunes appear to be beige, pure white, cool blue... we couldn't get enough of it during our 2019 road trip in March. :) (blog archive: https://www.alex-kunz.com/tag/road-trip-march-2019/)
