Four curated loops connecting the mountains, dunes, lava fields, and dark skies of the Tularosa Basin — each an easy day trip from Alamogordo.
Wind past mountain fruit orchards in High Rolls as you climb nearly a vertical mile into cool pine and fir forests, stopping at scenic overlooks for panoramic views across the vast Tularosa Basin and the white dunes shimmering below.
Sled the blinding white gypsum dunes under the open desert sun, then watch the sunset shadows climb the massive limestone cliffs of Dog Canyon as the stars come out at Oliver Lee.
Cross the vast black volcanic lava fields of the Carrizozo Malpais and explore a desert ridge covered in 21,000 ancient stone carvings at Three Rivers.
Cross high over San Augustin Pass with wide missile range basin vistas on one side, dropping into high-desert trails beneath towering granite needles and natural weeping springs.
