General Info

White Sands National Monument

You can check admission fees, entrance hours etc. on the official
National Park Service site.

The National Park Service also provides you with a map of the Monument (PDF.)

The map might come in handy because in the past people did get lost.

 

To find all information in a nutshell, I recommend the fine brochure White Sands, New Mexico - Gypsum Wonderland. This brochure sums up nicely everything there is to know about geology, the history of the monument, and all other useful general information.



If you want to get married at White Sands National Monument, you can. But you will need a special permit. Said permit is also necessary if you wish to stay after hours, conduct commercial filming, research, first amendment activities, large picnics, sporting events, pageants, church services, ceremonies etc.

Go here for info on Special Use Permits.


 

If White Sands National Monument accessories are what turns you on, check Western National Park Association. These guys sell White Sands magnets, pins, t-shirts, posters, all kinds of books (even in German) and so on and so forth.

We have an abundance of literature on the subject. Check it out below:
