Sunset Stroll

White Sands National Park

  • Every week on Sunday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:00 PM from April 19, 2025 to May 10, 2025
  • Free

The Sunset Stroll is a leisurely, ranger-guided stroll through the gypsum sand dunes. It is a splendid opportunity to experience the dunes first-hand while learning about the uniqueness of our geology, plants, and animals. As an added bonus, the stroll is timed to end at sunset, providing a panoramic view of the sun setting over the mountains and the potential for some breath-taking photographic opportunities.

 

Fees

Program is free. Park entrance fees apply.

Location

Meet near the sunset stroll sign parking area, an 8-mile (12.9 km) drive from the fee station. Follow Dunes Drive, staying left at the intersection. The Sunset Stroll begins in the parking lot on the left just after you pass the Backcountry Caming Loop trailhead parking. Look for the signs reading "Sunset Stroll Meets Here."
