El Paso Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to El Paso!
Cradled between two shadowy mountain ranges in the Chihuahuan Desert, alongside the Rio Grande and steps away from its sister city, Juarez, Mexico, is El Paso—a city as enchanting in its history and culture as it is in its surroundings. El Paso is surrounded by sights that recall the area's heritage, such as the 400-year-old Mission Trail, the 1680 Yselta Mission built by Spanish Franciscans, and the 34 million-year-old molten rock marked by Apache Indians at Hueco Tanks State Historical Park. The Wyler Aerial Tramway has the best seat in the house to see it all from a 940-ft (286-m) vantage point. The area's exceptional scenery can be explored on foot, bike or horseback at Franklin Mountains State Park, located just northwest of the city. From cowboy boots to spicy salsa, experience the fusion of American and Mexican traditions that is El Paso.
