Alamogordo and the Tularosa Valley are most widely recognized for the sand dunes of White Sands National Monument which cut a path through the valley like a streak of bright light. Bordered by the Sacramento Mountains to the east and the San Andres Mountains to the west, the harsh desert of the Tularosa Valley slowly encroaches upon the town of Alamogordo in south-central New Mexico.

The photographs in this photo tour were taken in early May of 2006. They highlight two of the area's biggest tourist attractions: White Sands National Monument and the New Mexico Museum of Space History. Related links for Alamogordo and the Tularosa Valley are listed near the bottom of this page.
