Certainly this park offered lots of different types of expeditions for our little Junior Rangers but there was one thing they had heard about and had to check out. During their preparations for the trip, the kids had learned that it was possible to go "sledding" in the park. Being from Northern Minnesota we are well versed in snow sledding, however, this was different. We were used to putting on snow pants, parkas, boots, facemasks, and gloves to hit the hills in the winter. At White Sands, we were able to sled in our summer attire! The ranger station kindly had several sleds available to us to try out their slopes. The kids hit the dunes running and sailed down the smooth, untouched sand. Although the temperatures were relatively warm for us in February, the sand was cool and refreshing. We literally spent hours going up and down the dunes!
