Weekend in New Mexico: White Sands, Las Cruces, & Carlsbad Caverns National Park

On our way back to Texas for the holidays, we spent the weekend in Southern New Mexico exploring White Sands National Monument, Las Cruces, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. We had a blast playing in the sand dunes, drinking coffee and eating food, and wandering through the CRAZY caverns!

    @@AdventuresofAplusK I live on the south side of Las Cruces, between the NMSU Campus and "A" Mountain (Tortugas Mountain). If you're ever back in the area there are some great hiking areas behind "A" Mountain in the Organ Mountains and NMSU has a beautiful campus to explore. Both are best in early Spring before the summer heat hits and there's still a cool breeze. Don't get me started on the great Mexican food. Check out La Posta(a classic), Andale's(that salsa bar!), and Si Senor(best margaritas and michelada's). Edit P.S. Great tip for White Sands. Put your phones/electronics/wallets in sealed cases or even plastic baggies if you're gonna have them on you. The sand gets into Everything, can scratch screens/delicate surfaces, and do a number on the ports of your devices. On the Plus side, walking barefoot is a great way to exfoliate your feet. Come out soft and smooth. lol

    I used to drive thru Las Cruces on road trips from home in Las Vegas NV (25 years). I loved the view coming down I-10 - the postcard shot - every time I came thru. So much that I moved here 15 years ago and love it still. Dark skies, coyotes singing at nite, different beauty with every short road trip.

    White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns are 2 of my favorite parts of New Mexico. One of the times I went to Carlsbad Caverns it was windy day and the power went out. Luckily, I was in a place with backup lights, but the people on the elevator must have been terrified.

The site is so quiet and majestic, it’s quite an enchanting place. I would recommend people visiting White Sands around that time.

As if that weren't enough, the homes being built in Metro Verde and Sonoma Ranch are the epitome of elegance and luxury.

Wow! Your video is so refreshing. I love caves, and once worked at White Sands National Monument, so I know you got the facts right about both places.

    My Carlsbad experience was of chaperoning 50 kids on a caving adventure following a camporee in Colorado in 1985. Even easier way to remember the stalagmites and stalactites is, "When the mites go up, the tites (tights) come down." You know, the mites that crawl up into your tights. OK, nuff sed. Next time in Las Cruces be sure to visit the tiny historic "Mexican" town of La Mesilla where Billie the Kid was captured. A candy shop there sells habanero fudge!!!
