@@AdventuresofAplusK I live on the south side of Las Cruces, between the NMSU Campus and "A" Mountain (Tortugas Mountain). If you're ever back in the area there are some great hiking areas behind "A" Mountain in the Organ Mountains and NMSU has a beautiful campus to explore. Both are best in early Spring before the summer heat hits and there's still a cool breeze. Don't get me started on the great Mexican food. Check out La Posta(a classic), Andale's(that salsa bar!), and Si Senor(best margaritas and michelada's). Edit P.S. Great tip for White Sands. Put your phones/electronics/wallets in sealed cases or even plastic baggies if you're gonna have them on you. The sand gets into Everything, can scratch screens/delicate surfaces, and do a number on the ports of your devices. On the Plus side, walking barefoot is a great way to exfoliate your feet. Come out soft and smooth. lol
Wow, thank you so so much for all of the tips! We really look forward to making it back that way. Lots of great free boondocking spots for our van + all of the amazing food and hikes you mentioned make it right up our alley!
@@sambawse Thanks alot, we will be dropping clips of the first episode before we let out the whole thing. The second episode is already recorded, we will drop those clips as well. we would love to hear more from you.
Im born and raised in Las Cruces, NM and spent many a childhood weekend in White Sands so I love watching these types of videos. You guys had me smiling throughout then entire video. Im glad you enjoyed Southern New Mexico. I'm proud to be from here and enjoy hearing and watching these stories.
This puts a huge smile on our face! Getting positive feedback from locals of places we visit means a lot to us! We love New Mexico and cannot wait to explore more of the state someday 🥰
Thank you for coming to our state and showing the world what we have to offer. As a New Mexican, I have to say you choose. I just love, love Las Cruces. Love from Albuquerque
I used to drive thru Las Cruces on road trips from home in Las Vegas NV (25 years). I loved the view coming down I-10 - the postcard shot - every time I came thru. So much that I moved here 15 years ago and love it still. Dark skies, coyotes singing at nite, different beauty with every short road trip.
Hahaha thankfully I’m good at memorizing (which helped me do well in college)! 🤣🤣 And the caves just got us sooo excited that I was ready to go live there and study them forever!
I learned to remember it this way: stalagmites = they might reach the ceiling someday; stalactites = hold tight to the ceiling Looks like a really cool place to visit.
White Sands is a beautiful place to go just to get away & explore the Sand dunes! My parents used to bring us my Sisters & baby brother Bobby to the park when we just kids & the Caverns at Carlsbad is just wonderful especially ‘The Big Room”.
As a senior from India I came to my son’s place Lascruces in July 2020 . I visited white sands in August 2020 . Due to covid my son did not arrange for my visit places around LAS Cruces . Your video gave lot of joy & happiness to me . I like your video & achoring & explanation . Happy New year to you in advance 2021 .
I live in Las Cruces, and gone to White Sands on multiple occasions. I prefer going there a couple of hours before sunsets which makes the environment so surreal as if you’re in another planet. The site is so quiet and majestic, it’s quite an enchanting place. I would recommend people visiting White Sands around that time.
From Dallas. planning a 2021 road trip and these two spots are on the agenda for sure... haven't been in 40 yrs. Giving my son the same experience. thanks for sharing.
I just want to say, we followed your exact trip and it was amazing. Thank you for doing all the hard work for us. We went to Roswell right after the Caverns since we were so close.
What a great video! Never been to Carlsbad Caverns but have been to Mammoth Caves in Kentucky and that was cool! We learned in school that Stalgmites, "might" reach the ceiling and Stalagtites, had to hold "tight" so they didn't fall! Need to go back to New Mexico and check out some more interesting things! Thanks
Thats crazy!! You guys popped up in my recommendations and I live near Las Cruces, NM. They are beautiful places to visit. Carlsbad Caverns hold a very special place in my heart and my husband proposed to me there and it was the last mine roadtrip we took right before he passed away. Hopefully I can visit one day again once I am ready.
White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns are 2 of my favorite parts of New Mexico. One of the times I went to Carlsbad Caverns it was windy day and the power went out. Luckily, I was in a place with backup lights, but the people on the elevator must have been terrified.
I'm an old guy, 73, and I usually end up making fun of a lot of people's stupid videos because they so often try to be super cute and overly perky, and they so often get most of the facts wrong about the places they visit. Wow! Your video is so refreshing. I love caves, and once worked at White Sands National Monument, so I know you got the facts right about both places. Your enthusiasm was a rare breath of fresh air, too. Always great to see young folks who get as excited about fantastic places as I do. Thanks for posting. I just subscribed and clicked the bell, too!
Thank you so much! This put a big smile on our faces! We had sooo much fun this weekend...both places were so unique and magical and we’re glad we got the facts right! 🙌🏼
You drove right past Guadalupe National Park! Thanks for the tips on White Sands, Las Cruces, and Carlsbad. We're leaving on a trip to those three (plus Guadalupe, Ft. Davis, and Big Bend) in 2 weeks. You made it all look great!!
We had already been to Guadalupe on a previous trip 😃 We're glad the video was helpful! We also have more content on our website as well: adventuresofaplusk.com/things-to-do-at-white-sands Thanks and thanks for watching!
Oh my God you guys! I just came across your channel and i think you're awesome. I just love the way the wife looks at the guy while he's talking with that adorable puppy look in her eyes. God bless!
I live in Las Cruces too. Glad you enjoyed your trip and time at the downtown farmer’s market. Another good place for Mexican food is El Sombrero. You would like their salsa.
New Mexico is super underrated! We can’t wait to go back eventually and explore more. Have a wonderful holiday! Can’t wait to share some delicious Texas things soon 🙌🏼
This was hands down the best vlog that I've seen in New Mexico!! You guys did a great job with the editing, cool nature spots, & just overall the vlog was super interesting!! I'm an Eagle scout so I'm always looking for new places to explore 👌🏾 I also subscribed!
Stumbled upon your channel as tomorrow we visit White Sands National Park. Absolutely enjoyed how informational it was. Mole looked amazing. It's hard to find good eats on the road. We've had the pleasure of visiting Carlsbad Caverns and it is stunning to say the least! Great video.
I loved White Sands so much more than the Great Sand Dunes since the Sand was so much softer. We did all the hikes, which were so easy and went sledding (we brought our own sleds). Loved Carlsbad. I think it is the best cave in the National Park system. We did the Wild Cave tour and got the rangers all to ourselves, it was amazing!
My 6-year old who watches your videos with me at bedtime, thought the caverns were EXTRA cool today because you had been there. (He's also taken to describing all his meals "like A+K do." Everything is "pillowy"!)
Kudos to you for crafting such an exceptional video! 🎥🌟 The way you presented the information was captivating and engaging. It's no wonder that Las Cruces is attracting so many incredible people from all walks of life. The city is evolving into a vibrant melting pot of cultures and ideas, and it's a joy to witness. As if that weren't enough, the homes being built in Metro Verde and Sonoma Ranch are the epitome of elegance and luxury. It's a testament to the exciting future that awaits those lucky enough to call Las Cruces home.
We're a full-time traveling family, in an RV (with two small kids) and are presently in Phoenix (for another week). I was able to get the entire month of March off from work, so we started doing some research and creating a Phoenix to Tampa bucket list. That's when I discovered this video... Great information, GREAT value with added tidbits about your location and great editing (we really have to UP our vlog game)... I think what I'm trying to say, is that it's "Great"?!?!. All kidding aside, I've now subscribed and added you to Insta and look forward to checking out your other videos. NM, Texas, Louisiana are going to be our main focuses during this trip... Cheers, The Oily Travelers
Hi y’all! We appreciate this so much!!! Thank you for the kind words and for watching. We were supposed to make a New Orleans vlog about a month ago, but weather stopped us. We are headed to the Tampa area next week, so keep an eye out for that! 🤗
You could've taken the scenic route from Cruces to Alamogordo then up through Cloudcroft and Mayhill and over to Artesia then down to Carlsbad. Takes you through the Lincoln National Forest. Cloudcroft is also a favorite of tourists. Thanks for the video.
@@AdventuresofAplusK not sure if you what The Endless adventure but Eric and Allison are good at describing food. Maybe you could "borrow" some of their words! LOL
So funny you say that because they inspired us to get better at it! And Adam 100% accidentally copied one of their reactions in our next vlog because we have been watching them so much 😂😬
So glad you tried mole! It’s definitely a delicious concoction AND on enchiladas! Super yummy. Oh and the parks looked beautiful 🤣 By the way you guys are super adorable together!
My husband is from Tatum NM and everyone in NM knows his cousin Brian Urlacher from Lovington. My husband has taken me all over NM including White Sands and Carlsbad and it is the Land Of Enchantment.
Next time you come to las cruces go to a place called sugies. My mom works there and it’s a sandwich shop but it has icecream and biscuits and gravy and lots of stuff! It’s very great!
I live right across from the downtown mall. Next time you visit Las Cruces bring your hiking gear and plan on going to Dripping Springs. Lots to hike and discover and the scenery is amazing after a few rains.
Hi Yasmin! She stays in our van, which stays a lot cooler than a car since it’s insulated and we have window covers and a fan. We don’t leave her in there if it’s too warm though, we will rent an Airbnb if we plan to be somewhere warm and cannot take her all around with us.
@@AdventuresofAplusK Rough plan but I'm stopping in Aurora, Texas to Visit the Alien Ted's gravesite, then to Roswell, NM, White Sands(possibly Carlsbad Caverns after watching your video), Stay in Las Cruces, go to Riverbend Hotsprings in the morning, Very Large Array, Petrified Forest, stay in Flagstaff, visit Grand Canyon/ hangout in that general area for two days, Joshua tree and then final stretch on the PCH. Any tips appreciated but I imagine I'll find some great ones going through your vids! Definitely buying an Annual pass per your recommendation. Peace!
That plan sounds amazing!!! We spent some time at the Grand Canyon and did a road trip to Texas from WA and stopped on the California Coast (our fav!) and AZ then as well. If you have some extra time around the Grand Canyon we highly recommend a day or two in Page to see Horseshoe Bend and Canyon X!
Wow last night I saw your great video in St Augustine, Fl where I lived 23 years and now I see you at the White Sands which is a great place and your shots were excellent, by the way I now live in Albuquerque so I can visit this place quite often, by the way you could of slide down the dunes on a big trash bag :) food for thought
Oh man! We will have to bring a trash bag next time! White sands was amazing and we have spent a tiny bit of time in Albuquerque, but definitely want to spend more time in New Mexico!
Just stumbled upon your channel! My husband and I just outfitted our jeep and our goal is to visit all the national parks!! In May, we are planning to make a trip to New Mexico and I wanted some ideas! Thanks so much! Loved this video!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thanks guy's looking forward to seeing my daughter for Christmas but at the moment we have a few issues with bush fire's. There's currently a fire about 2.5klms from my house that has currently burnt out 1000000 acres but we'll get through that and look forward to better times. Take care guy's 👍
I have heard about the fires! So horrible! One of my coworkers is a volunteer firefighter in Australia and has been going out to help. Stay safe over there!
@@AdventuresofAplusK we would be absolutely screwed without the volunteer rural fire service unfortunately there have already been lot's of home's lost and 2 firefighters killed last night. I'm hopeful but it's pretty scary at the moment
I live in Las Cruces and just had this randomly pop up in my recommends. Glad you had fun. 😄
We had a great time! You live in a beautiful area!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I live on the south side of Las Cruces, between the NMSU Campus and "A" Mountain (Tortugas Mountain). If you're ever back in the area there are some great hiking areas behind "A" Mountain in the Organ Mountains and NMSU has a beautiful campus to explore. Both are best in early Spring before the summer heat hits and there's still a cool breeze.
Don't get me started on the great Mexican food. Check out La Posta(a classic), Andale's(that salsa bar!), and Si Senor(best margaritas and michelada's).
Edit P.S. Great tip for White Sands. Put your phones/electronics/wallets in sealed cases or even plastic baggies if you're gonna have them on you. The sand gets into Everything, can scratch screens/delicate surfaces, and do a number on the ports of your devices. On the Plus side, walking barefoot is a great way to exfoliate your feet. Come out soft and smooth. lol
Wow, thank you so so much for all of the tips! We really look forward to making it back that way. Lots of great free boondocking spots for our van + all of the amazing food and hikes you mentioned make it right up our alley!

Hahaha thankfully I’m good at memorizing (which helped me do well in college)! 🤣🤣 And the caves just got us sooo excited that I was ready to go live there and study them forever!
Wow what, a youtuber actually came to carlsbad?? 😹 I feel honored, our little town isn't much to talk about besides the caverns😹
Y'all also have a bomb Mexican spot we hit up the first time called Carniceria San Juan De Los Lagos. LOVED it!

I learned to remember it this way: stalagmites = they might reach the ceiling someday; stalactites = hold tight to the ceiling Looks like a really cool place to visit.
Oooo good way to remember it!!!
I’m from Carlsbad and a lived in Las Cruces I miss the mountains☹️ this popped up in my recommendations thanks for showing New Mexico some love!!!
The mountains there are so so beautiful!
This is a good intro for my upcoming trip to White Sands NP!! So excited for this!!
I went to Carlsbad Cavern many years ago and I could have spent the whole day in there and your right simply Awesome
I live in Cruces, and I'm a vendor at the market y'all visited! So cool to see something like this pop up on my feed.
Very cool! That market was amazing!

White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns are 2 of my favorite parts of New Mexico. One of the times I went to Carlsbad Caverns it was windy day and the power went out. Luckily, I was in a place with backup lights, but the people on the elevator must have been terrified.
Oh wow, that would've been so scary! 😱
Loved it. Great information 👍 😊 and brilliantly edited. Wish you both lots more success in 2020.
Thanks so much Don! 🙌🏼🤗 Happy (almost) New Year! 🎉
Great place to visit. My sister and I rolled down the hills. Way before all the new things and up grade.
We loved them both!
Awesome video guys and the food looks so good. White Sands is so cool and beautiful. Happy travels.
Thank you so much! It’s crazy because it looks like snow at times but it’s sand!
So awesome. Carlsbad Caverns looks amazing!

My husband is from Tatum NM and everyone in NM knows his cousin Brian Urlacher from Lovington. My husband has taken me all over NM including White Sands and Carlsbad and it is the Land Of Enchantment.
It sure is! Beautiful state!
Next time you come to las cruces go to a place called sugies. My mom works there and it’s a sandwich shop but it has icecream and biscuits and gravy and lots of stuff! It’s very great!
Awesome! Thanks for the tip!
Love these places!
I live right across from the downtown mall. Next time you visit Las Cruces bring your hiking gear and plan on going to Dripping Springs. Lots to hike and discover and the scenery is amazing after a few rains.
Thanks for the tip!
My sister lives in Alamogordo NM after visiting; not much there, if I have my choice I would move to Las Cruces great city...
We really enjoyed it!
where do ya'll leave the dog when walking around las cruces? I want to take a road trip but don't know where to leave my dog
Hi Yasmin! She stays in our van, which stays a lot cooler than a car since it’s insulated and we have window covers and a fan. We don’t leave her in there if it’s too warm though, we will rent an Airbnb if we plan to be somewhere warm and cannot take her all around with us.
Sweet vid! I'm picking up and 80's Porsche 944 and doing a solo road trip from Southlake Texas back to Santa Cruz, California. Also, y'all too cute!
Ah nice!!! That is going to be epic! Where all do you plan to stop?
@@AdventuresofAplusK Rough plan but I'm stopping in Aurora, Texas to Visit the Alien Ted's gravesite, then to Roswell, NM, White Sands(possibly Carlsbad Caverns after watching your video), Stay in Las Cruces, go to Riverbend Hotsprings in the morning, Very Large Array, Petrified Forest, stay in Flagstaff, visit Grand Canyon/ hangout in that general area for two days, Joshua tree and then final stretch on the PCH. Any tips appreciated but I imagine I'll find some great ones going through your vids! Definitely buying an Annual pass per your recommendation. Peace!
That plan sounds amazing!!! We spent some time at the Grand Canyon and did a road trip to Texas from WA and stopped on the California Coast (our fav!) and AZ then as well. If you have some extra time around the Grand Canyon we highly recommend a day or two in Page to see Horseshoe Bend and Canyon X!
Great places to visit. I was at White Sands more. Love it.
It's a very cool place!
I live in these areas :) so happy yall got to experience it! Been to them l I ke 100 times
New Mexico is gorgeous!
Makes me miss home and the food!!!
Are you from New Mexico?!
@@AdventuresofAplusK yes from Santa Fe. I'm currently living in Portland Oregon which is how I found your channel. Pip's is my favourite
Ah cool! We loooove Portland! 😍
Same here. Dallas food doesn’t compare to real Mexican food
Las Vegas Taos Old Route 66 themed. Great work!
Thanks for watching!
Wow last night I saw your great video in St Augustine, Fl where I lived 23 years and now I see you at the White Sands which is a great place and your shots were excellent, by the way I now live in Albuquerque so I can visit this place quite often, by the way you could of slide down the dunes on a big trash bag :) food for thought
Oh man! We will have to bring a trash bag next time! White sands was amazing and we have spent a tiny bit of time in Albuquerque, but definitely want to spend more time in New Mexico!
@@AdventuresofAplusK It will be cheaper than the slider hehehehhe, New Mexico is awesome so much to see I am glad they keep it low key
James Quiroz O'Lara it seems like a very underrated state!
Just stumbled upon your channel! My husband and I just outfitted our jeep and our goal is to visit all the national parks!! In May, we are planning to make a trip to New Mexico and I wanted some ideas! Thanks so much! Loved this video!
That is so awesome!! We posted a more recent video from SW NM and have a video from Santa Fe and Taos if you need other ideas too!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you so much!
I live in cruces and im glad you had a blast
🙌🏼🙌🏼
The way I remembered stalactites from the stalagmites is T stood for Top from stalactites and mites crawled on the ground floor.
Wow I never thought pple would want to vacation here!Cool!:)
New Mexico is awesome!
We did Carslbad then White Sands in the same day. Both were amazing!
Nice! That's a solid day!
Hey guy's hope you and your families have a great Christmas. Look forward to seeing heaps of vlogs next year 👍👍
Thank you Glenn, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas too! 🎄🥰 We are so excited to visit so many new places next year!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thanks guy's looking forward to seeing my daughter for Christmas but at the moment we have a few issues with bush fire's. There's currently a fire about 2.5klms from my house that has currently burnt out 1000000 acres but we'll get through that and look forward to better times. Take care guy's 👍
I have heard about the fires! So horrible! One of my coworkers is a volunteer firefighter in Australia and has been going out to help. Stay safe over there!
@@AdventuresofAplusK we would be absolutely screwed without the volunteer rural fire service unfortunately there have already been lot's of home's lost and 2 firefighters killed last night. I'm hopeful but it's pretty scary at the moment
That is horrible! Keeping y'all in our thoughts!
