On our trek from Tennessee to Arizona, we stop and visited Whites Sands again. This was the first time that we had been here in October and was surprised to find the Cottonwood trees in fall color. The area had gotten a 2 inch rain just a couple of days before our arrival. This caused the Loop Rd. to be close for about half it's length. We still enjoyed our visit.
^These mounds are caused by the moisture the roots bring up. The sand stays damp and does not blow away.
^ I wonder how much life is left in this old Cottonwood tree.^
