El Paso

Right on the Mexican border in the far western corner of Texas is a city called El Paso. This destination is also known as Sun City, and it boasts incredible views as the sun sets nightly over the Franklin Mountains. There are many great attractions in El Paso, just some of which include the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens, the Museum of Archeology at Wilderness Park and the Centennial Museum. El Paso offers plenty of opportunities to get active outdoors, so don’t miss the chance to hike along the El Paso Mission Trail, picnic in view of McKelligon Canyon or drive along the scenic Transmountain Road. Trips to Ciudad Juarez just across the border were once popular but have become to dangerous due to drug-related violence.
