White Sands National Park is more than the largest gypsum dunefield, more than a sandbox. White Sands preserves more than 20,000 years of human history and human stories. The fossilized footprints in the park tell stories of successful and unsuccessful hunts, of toddlers playing in puddles left behind by megafauna, and of a mother on a long journey in poor weather carrying a small child. You can tell your own stories when you visit the park. The rangers, historians, and archeologists at White Sands National Park #sPARKpreservation of the past generations' stories, for future generations' education and enjoyment. #NationalParkWeek #sPARKconnections #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque Video Description: a ranger crouches over a fossilized footprint, excavating it with a soft brush.
