One of the most fascinating places we've been was so intriguing because it really tricked our eyes. What looked like the purest, whitest snow was actually not cold at all! The "snow" was actually sand at White Sands Missile Range and park in New Mexico!
This place is nature's huge playground, being a mixture of playing at the beach and sledding down the humongous, steep dunes! To give you some perspective on the size of these things, here are some people climbing up the side of one:

And, while we were immensely enjoying ourselves we didn't even have to freeze as you do while having fun in the snow, in spite of bundling up in layers of clothes, coats, gloves and boots-it was warm and windy, and shorts, t-shirts, sunglasses and sunscreen were all that was necessary!

White Sands is another one of those must-see places if you are ever in the vacinity of White Sands, New Mexico! You'll not likely to see a place like it anywhere else!
