A little background information might be helpful before we get to White Sands. As the crow would fly it is about 12 miles, as the car drives more like 16, between Cloudcroft and Alamogordo. In those 16 miles you drop 4000 feet in elevation, or climb, depending on direction. Today that change resulted in a 17 degree temperature change. Alamogordo and White Sands are in the Tularosa basin, formed in part by the Sacramento mountains.
We had visited White Sands before 10 years ago but came again just because. It is pretty impressive to see.
