Alkali Flats Trail, 4-5 mile loop, great way to experience White Sands! It's very important to take a lot of water, especially during hot weather.

Hiking trails! The Pinetree Loop is one of our favorites, nearly reaching 7000 feet in elevation with nice oaks providing some shade. The Baylor Pass Trail is another nice, varied vegetation, and fantastic views from Baylor Pass.
