White Sands National Park and Las Cruces as a city base

White Sands National Park is a day-trip destination from Las Cruces. Its visitor center is about 52 miles east of the city. Using Las Cruces as the base means planning White Sands National Park as a separate outing from the city.

US 70 is the park-entrance corridor between Las Cruces and Alamogordo. US 70 is one of Las Cruces's three primary highways, alongside I-10 and I-25. If the 52-mile city-to-visitor-center distance does not fit the trip, do not use Las Cruces as the base.
