What the creator captured
Chad and Claire enjoyed exploring the world's largest gypsum dune field, though Claire had a disheartening fall while sledding that resulted in her 'eating' some sand. Their favorite part of the visit was watching the sunset over the white dunes and the surrounding mountains. They concluded their day by cooking a large pot of turkey chili in their van while parked near Las Cruces.
