Sun Spot, NM


After Timberon, we went to Sun Spot, NM at 9200 ft elevation.  It is not a community but rather a research center that studies the sun.  Here is one of the telescopes called the Tower.  There is 132 feet above ground and 228 feet below ground.

From the lookout at Sun Spot we could see White Sands, NM.

We had our picnic lunch outside at the visitor’s center.  The temperature at that time, 12:30 pm, was 56F.
