Storm at White Sands

I visited the White Sands National Park in February. We were there for 4 days. The first day we arrived in the late afternoon and just did a quick hike to check it out thinking we had 3 more days to explore. Unfortunately, the next 2 days brought high winds (50-60mph) to the entire region, so we were unable to visit the park. On the final day, it rained all morning and we were thinking it would be a bust. Things started clearing up in the early afternoon, so we took off on a hike. The light was spectacular and the distant storm front made for some amazing scenes. Here is one of my favorites from that trip. It was well worth the wait!
