The Desert...A Warm Spring Break Dessert!!

THIS was the place where I had my big spring break beach party in 2008! No water here, just sand! In my mind, this place is better and less wild than those crowded beaches of the other spring break hot spots like Cabo, Cancun, Lake Havasu, Panama City Beach, and South Padre Island. There's definitly more room to party and roam here in White Sands National Park.

 

You'll also notice in the left center part of the image lies Sierra Blanca Peak, which lies at an altitude of 12,000 feet. It's only early to mid-March, the height of the Spring Break season, of course, and yet, all the snow is already gone from the top of Sierra Blanca Peak! This was definitly not a good sign for the arid desert region, as water would become very scarce and the fire danger would skyrocket later on in the spring and especially the summer.
