RHH's photos with the keyword: wind

I've been posting a few photos from our recent trip, mostly panoramas taken with my phone, before finishing the long series of Yellowstone photos. This is another panorama taken at White Sands National Monument in the Tularosa Basin near Alamogordo, New Mexico. This is not snow but gypsum sand that has formed dunes and flats over a huge area. The area of the park is completely surrounded by the White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base and occasionally has to be closed when missile tests are being conducted.

This is another photo from our January 2 excursion on Snowshoes showing the blowing snow at the top of Kulshan Ridge, our destination. We stayed there only long enough for photos.
