Have you ever wondered what makes sunsets Out West so spectacular? New Mexico for example, has unique atmospheric and geological conditions paving the way for dramatic sunsets. The clear air, vast landscapes, and the clouds that form between the two mountain ranges all contribute to these stunning sunsets. Our sunset from White Sands National Park was simply breathtaking and even this reel can’t do it justice! Where have you seen the best sunset?

Just add a @GoPro Max to the end of it to get that drone-like footage 😃 Especially in those locations where drones aren’t permitted. #btsvideo #gopro #360camera #gopromax #whitesands

[SAVE FOR LATER] Spend a day with us at White Sands National Park in New Mexico 😍 This park has been on our bucketlist for years and definitely lived up to the hype! Located in southern New Mexico, this park is known for its vast expanse of white gypsum sand dunes, making it the largest gypsum dune field in the world. The gypsum sand forms as a result of rainwater and snowmelt that dissolve the gypsum from nearby mountains and flow into the Tularosa Basin. Evaporation causes selenite crystals to form and strong winds break these crystals into small grains that form the gypsum sand dunes. The gypsum is naturally clear but appears white due to the reflection of sunlight on the crystals’ scratches. Let us know in the comments below if you’ve been, plan on going or are now adding this U.S. gem to your 2024 travel plans. 🇺🇸✈️ #ustravel #visittheusa #newmexicolife #whitesandsnationalpark
