As a runner, I thought I could do this rather quickly but it ended up taking me a bit longer than expected but partly because I took a lot of photos. I was headed to White Sands National Park for sunset but the entrance closed right at 5pm. I would definitely go back to explore more!

Very nice, one of our favorite hikes in New Mexico. However this is NOT an “easy” hike, we would call it moderate.
