Franklin Mountains State Park
The Franklin Mountains certainly fit into Texas' mantra of everything is bigger.
Residents of El Paso don't have far to go to play outdoors. That's because this park is completely within the city limits. Mountain biking and hiking rules here, with 100 miles of trails. Bikers love the challenge of steep, dusty slopes. Hikers love getting out in the warm weather at any time of year. One local outfitter offers guided tours for safety.
Poke your head in on several caves, including Aztec Cave, The 1.2-mile up-and-back Aztec Cave Trail is a moderate challenge. The trail rises 500 feet over 3/4 of a mile. The view from the cave cannot be missed. Make sure to bring plenty of water.
Despite the arid desert atmosphere, many animals call the park home. Bring your binoculars to look at hawks, eagles, mule deer, black bears, and maybe a mountain lion. Rock climbers love established climbs in McKelligon Canyon.
