Within the musuem, one gets a glimpse of type of food taken while in outer space, 'space toilet', & some virtual simulation of what outer space is like. The history of space exploration is also presented in exhibits form to visitors of the museum. Leave a Comment

This church is about a 45 minuter drive from Alamoghetto, but interesting to see. Its a cross between catholisim and Apache religions. There is some history behind it but I dont feel like writing that much. We did some landscaping volunteer work to help it look bettter but its gunna take a helluva lot more than jusd pulling weeds.

Dunes of sparkling white sand as far as the eye can see. There are parking areas inside the dune areas, with covered picnic tables and little BBQ grills. My friends and I skipped many days of school in summer filling our trunks with water balloons, and ice chests of soda & steak before heading to the sands to have the best BBQs ever. Bare feet, pretty sand, and a bunch of people in swimsuits getting a tan. Just don't forget your water, and no hanky panky in the dunes... according to a friend the fine for that is about $40 and community service. *not recommended for little kids who can't have a lot of sun!* Leave a Comment Address: Between Holloman AFB and Las CrucesDirections: Go south on White Sands, you'll have the chance to turn left on 54 towards El Paso, but keep straight. Once out of the city, you'll pass the Base main gate, and immediately go under a bridge. 15 min later the information bldg is on the right hand side!

This is one of the best things about Southern New Mexico. White Sands is an absolutely gorgeous collection of dry, white dunes spread over several miles, some of which is open to the public as a national monument. The dunes are actually a dry lake bed, Lake Lucero. Coming into Alamogordo from the east or west on Highway 70 gives you a really beautiful view of this lake bed from the mountains forming what used to be the ancient shoreline. What's great about White Sands is that you can just start walking and almost lose yourself on the dunes. There are trails, which are really just a few signs and a collection of footprints, but it's fun sometimes to go off and find your own little corner. White Sands is worth at least a day, and you kids will love it. It also has the benefit of being only about 30 minutes from either Las Cruces or Alamogordo. I prefer staying in Las Cruces, but maybe that's just me. Entry is $10, I believe, which is good for a week.
