	White Sands National Monument Alcohol Regulations

Alcohol is prohibited within the park during the months of February, March, April and May.

No glass bottles or kegs are allowed at any time of year.


			Did You Know? The wind moves small sand grains by bouncing them along the surface in a process called "saltation." Saltating sand grains create a beautiful pattern of ripples on the dune surface. Larger sand grains are struck by saltating grains and slowly roll forward, a process known as "surface creep."
