Hiking in White Sands National Park. Among the many tips offered to visitors by the National Park Service, in addition to warnings about heat, weather, and wind storms, is the caution about unexploded ordinance. "We are surrounded by an active missile range. From time to time, debris from missile tests falls into the park and is buried by sand. If you see any strange objects, do not touch them as they may still be able to detonate."

The National Park Service says of White Sands, "Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert, creating the world's largest gypsum dunefield."
