El Paso

1 of 3

El Paso is one of the most exciting tourist attractions. You can't go wrong with a trip to El Paso, with over 300 days of sunlight every year.

Plan a day trek in Franklin Mountains State Park to make the most of those bright days; if the trails don't, the scenery will (though they probably will).

There is a nice scenic route that goes along the Franklin Mountains for people who desire mountain vistas without the effort of trekking.

You can't go wrong when you pack your El Paso schedule with things like looking for dinosaur footprints, learning about local history, or riding a horse through a winery.
