    The Dune life trial is awesome. So white and the skies look, lovely. The boardwalk is very don't convenient. Omg we just sandboarded in Huacachina, Peru. Great video. Love the sunset 🌇

      The boardwalk is super convenient as walking on dunes can really take it out of ya! 😅

    That looks like a ton of fun. We plan on heading out that way in October and never thought about sledding on the dunes before. Definitely going to try it. White Sands looks so beautiful.

    • @CactusAtlas

      Oh you definitely have to try it! It's so much fun. Just make sure you wax the sled really well each run. You can tell what a difference it makes not reapplying on the second slide down. MUCH slower.

    We did sand sledding years ago in west Texas at Monahans sand dunes. Not nearly as big as WS, but still so fun. It was fun to go along on this trip, and the music was extra cool in this episode!

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому

      Thanks! Every now and again it is fun to go a little more left field and have fun with the music when I edit. 😅 I think we finally got rid of the sled sadly. It's a shame. There's more dunes out there but it doesn't get much use out here in the desert homestead. 😂

    Absolutely amazing video. Loved your adventures. Sliding was so much fun to watch. Dunes are favorites of mine. This place is one of the largest in the US. Been to Coral pink, Kelso, Mesquite dunes and haven’t got a chance to go to White sands. But I went virtually with you today. Thanks for taking us along. Sunset and sunrise at the dunes is always spectacular. My channel started from the dunes at Death Valley :)

    When you said you had a fright I thought you found like a scorpion or something. Nah just high yield explosives from the sky. No big deal.

    You should WEAR A HAT (or carry an umbrella) and carry water. People do die there! A whole family from France died a couple years ago because they did not carry enough water. They se plos to move the sand on the road there. The whole park is actually traveling over time, it moves over time.

      Living in Arizona for years, we're pretty accustomed to how important carrying water is. 😅
