ABQ to White Sands — I-25 to US-70, ~3.5 Hours
Standard route: south on I-25 to the Las Cruces area (~225 miles, ~3 hours), east on US-70 toward Alamogordo with a brief 30-minute stretch passing through White Sands Missile Range checkpoint zones (occasionally closed during missile-test windows; we monitor closures and re-route), then arrival at the White Sands National Park visitor center. Total drive time about 3.5 hours each way. Our chauffeurs know the US-70 missile-range closure schedule (real-time updates from the NPS and Missile Range websites), the Tularosa Basin afternoon-thunderstorm pattern (peak around 3 PM in summer monsoon season), and the timing to arrive 90 minutes before sunset for the iconic photography window.
