The White Sands of the White Sands National Monument, 17 miles south of Alamogordo, New Mexico, on Hiway U. S. 70, between Las Cruces and Alamogordo. One of the world's strangest and most spectacular deserts. Not white sand actually, rather pure white Gypsum in the world's largest surface deposit. These gigantic dunes sometimes reach heights of 50 feet. Putley Published by Petley Studios, Albuquerque, New Mexico Color Photo by Keith Avery P41545
