Very nice ppl there, and yes - the 80+ year old owner who's moving a little slower these days, can come off as abrupt sometimes - but engage her in conversation and you'll discover a wonderfully sweet woman with a wealth of knowledge about the surroundings, local history and the backstory to many of her fine items.

It seems to me you would be open while people are running errands at lunch? Why close at all, stagger the lunch hour with your employs?

We felt very unwelcome and like we were a bother to the lady at the counter, maybe she was just…read morehaving an off day but taking it out on us is not ok. And to be clear, we bought several items, we were not just asking questions/window shopping. We are locals and have spent money at Bowlin's regularly and brought out-of-town guests there, as well. Unless we know for sure that this particular lady is not working we will skip it from now on. On a positive note, the merchandise is great, hopefully the customer service will improve. They used to have really welcoming workers in there.

In all my years of being raised (& born) in Northern NM, I had never been to White Sands until now…read more We parked at the visitor center as we were unsure where to purchase the entrance fee (there's a sign right outside the visitor center indicating so). We still stepped foot into the center as it serves as somewhat of a museum about the history of White Sands as well as a gift shop. At the station (upon driving in), if an attendant is not at the entrance you can scan a QR code and purchase the entry fee that way (25.00 per vehicle). From there, they said it was roughly a 16 mile drive RT; however, it seemed like we were just driving in circles but we spent a fair amount of time to see the white sands and get some good photo ops before saying we were ready to go lol. Definitely recommend as it looked like snow in the summer and you can also get down and experience the white sands yourself by sand boarding; however, it is a "bucket list" item and something I would not do again.
