About

<p>The Dune Life Nature Trail is a moderate, one-mile (1.6 km) self-guided loop hike. Though not difficult, this hike does require hikers to climb two steep dunes with loose sand. Follow the blue trail markers with a club symbol. Meet Katie the Kit Fox and learn about her friends on this family-oriented trail. Look for tracks of the animals that call these dunes their home. Kit foxes, badgers, birds, rodents, and reptiles all live in this area. The average completion time is one hour.<br /> <br /> <strong>Length:</strong> One mile (1.6 km) loop<br /> <strong>Trail Marker Color:</strong> Blue<br /> <span style="display: none;"> </span><strong>Trail Marker Symbol:</strong> Clubs<br /> <span style="display: none;"> </span><strong>Average Completion Time:</strong> 1 hour<br /> <strong>Difficulty:</strong> Moderate<br /> <span style="display: none;"> </span><strong>Distance from Visitor Center:</strong> 2.5 miles (4 km)<br /> <strong>Restroom:</strong> Two vault toilets at the trailhead<br /> <br /> Before setting out on foot at White Sands National Park, please view our <a href="https://www.nps.gov/whsa/planyourvisit/hiking-safety-tips.htm">Hiking Safety Tips.</a></p>
