Peak pursuits: Navigating nature’s trails safely in El Paso
Hikers admire the view from Mammoth’s Trunk Trail.
The rugged mountains of El Paso invite hikers to uncover the hidden gems of the Chihuahuan Desert. As the weather begins to warm up El Pasoans and visitors will begin making their way to the Franklin Mountains State Park to explore the various trails the mountain has to offer.
In 1979, the Franklin Mountains State Park was established by the Texas Legislature as a community effort to save the mountains from being developed and to conserve the mountains as open space for visitors to enjoy.
