    If you could road trip anywhere, where would you go?

    At White Sands, you can also rent sleds and slide down the dunes until you can't take anymore. It's fun for adults, but the kids definitely get a blast out of it.
    If you decide to go sledding, ensure you have some backup clothes, shoes, and some water to wash feet etc... Just in case.
    The sand can get everywhere, just like at the beach. Especially if you're sweaty and tumble down a hill lol.

      @@doneown503 I hiked the Florida mountains 4 weeks ago in Rockhound state park and it’s beautiful and intense but worth it. Near the very top you have to scramble over a 1/4 mile of rocks but you will see about 3 beautiful arches . It took us 8 hours, good luck 👍🏿

    I grew up in Austin and we would always stop at White Sands on our way home from skiing. At least as a kid, the best part of white sands is bringing a disc/sled and sliding down the dunes!

    Phenomenal video, Allison! I saved it to watch for when I would feel very anxious as your voice, visuals, photography, and background music, everything calms me down! I would once again urge you to take a trip to India and I can be your tour guide, chauffeur, translator and many more things. It would be the best thing to explore my own country through your lens!😀😀😀
    Also, people who are viewing this video- Please check out Rann of Kutch in India as it has a similar landscape and those who cannot afford/manage to travel to New Mexico can opt for it instead.
    Already waiting for your next video, Allison 🤩
