Go on Sunset Guided Stroll, White Sands National Monument, New Mexico

The Sunset Stroll is a leisurely, ranger-guided stroll through the gypsum sand dunes. It is a splendid opportunity to experience the dunes first-hand while learning about the uniqueness of our geology, plants, and animals. As an added bonus, the stroll is timed to end at sunset, providing a panoramic view of the sun setting over the mountains and the potential for some breath-taking photographic opportunities. Sunset strolls are offered daily approximately one hour before sunset. See schedule at bottom of the page for sunset stroll start times throughout the year. Reservations are not required or permitted. Meet near the sunset stroll sign parking area, a 5-mile (8.05 km) drive from the fee station. The sunset stroll is an easy to moderate hike. The hike is approximately one mile (1.6 km) in length, and it is conducted at a leisurely pace with stops along the path. The stroll does not require much climbing; however, it does lead visitors off-road, across, and over the sand.
