Here at the edge of the dunefield, where the dunes meet the Chihuahuan desert, plants and animals thrive! The dramatic change from dunes to desert floor occurs because the water table that holds the dunes in place disappears. But don’t worry, plenty of animals and plants call the desert home. As you visit other natural and unique spaces, remember to engage all your senses to fully appreciate your surroundings. Stay safe and keep exploring!
