    If you could road trip anywhere, where would you go?

    At White Sands, you can also rent sleds and slide down the dunes until you can't take anymore. It's fun for adults, but the kids definitely get a blast out of it.
    If you decide to go sledding, ensure you have some backup clothes, shoes, and some water to wash feet etc... Just in case.
    The sand can get everywhere, just like at the beach. Especially if you're sweaty and tumble down a hill lol.

    Aw! This came up on my recommendations. I live in New Mexico! Blackbird Coffee House has been my addiction before going to school oops- it’s so good! I’m glad you visited that place and also supported local :) Next time you’re here I recommend going up to Northern, NM such as Taos 😇 glad to see you loved it here!

      @@doneown503 I hiked the Florida mountains 4 weeks ago in Rockhound state park and it’s beautiful and intense but worth it. Near the very top you have to scramble over a 1/4 mile of rocks but you will see about 3 beautiful arches . It took us 8 hours, good luck 👍🏿

    Phenomenal video, Allison! I saved it to watch for when I would feel very anxious as your voice, visuals, photography, and background music, everything calms me down! I would once again urge you to take a trip to India and I can be your tour guide, chauffeur, translator and many more things. It would be the best thing to explore my own country through your lens!😀😀😀
    Also, people who are viewing this video- Please check out Rann of Kutch in India as it has a similar landscape and those who cannot afford/manage to travel to New Mexico can opt for it instead.
    Already waiting for your next video, Allison 🤩

    Just a quick thank you for adding some fresh ideas, and places for me to explore as I am planning a road trip across Route 66, but as I am slowly learning, there is a whole chunk of the US around the mother road that truly needs to be considered, meaning I will be going on and off the road route to see more of the wider cultural heritage.

    Camping in White Sands on a full moon night in the spring is fun. I used to live in NM and did it several times with friends.
    I used to live within walking distance from your Airbnb in ABQ. The architecture and vibe of NM is something I dearly miss. I love the rounded edges of walls, door ways, and window sills.

    This sponsorship is paired so well with the video. I'm in the market for a vehicle that excels on trips slightly off-road in the Rockies, and this video made me add the 4runner to the list. Whatever vehicle I choose, White Sands sunset just went on the bucket list.
