Nevada: Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument

Last February 2019 I went to Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument in Nevada.  This park isn't really open to the public, but you can still see it.  There are parking spaces to use.  There is no visitor center or anything else.  You get the stamp at the Lake Mead visitor center.

You can still get some good pictures of the monuments.

New Mexico: White Sands National Monument

Last year I got to go to White Sands National Monument with my dad.  There was a lot of sand.  It does look like snow.  The monument is near a missile area.  You can rent a sled to slide down the sand.  While I was in the car I did see a group of people sliding down the hills.  It did look fun.  I couldn't walk up the sand.  The monument is 275 square miles of desert.  The monument changes everyday no footprint are left behind.

New Mexico: Petroglyph National Monument

The Petroglyph National Monument was another park that I went to in March 2018.  Petroglyph was a cool place to visit.  The drawings were amazing.  There were so many different drawings on the rocks.

New Mexico: Fort Union National Monument

This is one of my newest ones from March 2018.  We went to Fort Union National Monument.  This was a very interesting place.  It was amazing how they were keeping the buildings up and saving them.  It was very windy and cold that day but fun.

Jail

Hospital




Also when we were leaving Fort Union I saw a sign for the Santa Fe Trail.
