Apresentação geral
El Paso and the Franklin Mountains
Border town backed by mountains, between Mexican and American cultures and desert landscapes.
Franklin Mountains State Park, El Paso Mission Trail and El Paso Museum of Art give the most telling landmarks of El Paso and Franklin Mountains. Together, they form a destination where the big city, mountain reliefs, desert areas and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Nature and panorama
Franklin Mountains State Park
Franklin Mountains State Park places a real mountain landscape in the middle of El Paso, with rocky ridges, cactus, dry trails and views to Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. Hiking is often on display, but the views of the border town give an immediate reward.
Culture and heritage
El Paso Mission Trail
The El Paso Mission Trail links several historical missions of the valley, including Ysleta, Socorro and the chapel of San Elizario. The route follows the ancient Spanish and indigenous presence along the Rio Grande, with adobe churches, quiet squares and a border history still visible in the villages.
Culture and heritage
El Paso Museum of Art
The El Paso Museum of Art offers a collection focused on European, American and Mexican arts, just steps from the city centre. Its border position gives special relief to works from South West and Latin America, while the rooms remain compact enough for a cultural tour without heaviness.
Place indismissible
Scenic Drive Overlook
Scenic Drive Overlook offers one of the clearest views on El Paso, the Franklin Mountains and Ciudad Juárez across the border. The gazebo makes sense at dusk, when the lights of the two cities light up and reveal the urban continuity of the desert.
