Franklin Mountains State Park

A great way to get out of the city! But be prepared, some of the trails have loose rocks and you have to be carefu whilel traversing them. There are difficult trails,b there are medium trails, and there are easy trails, so no matter what your background or experience level is, there is a place for you to hike here.

We are in an RV and only planned to stay one night due to no hookups. We wound up staying three because this place is so awesome. We were literally the only people in the park after 5pm when the gate shut. What an incredible experience. The hike to the Aztec Caves at dusk- INCREDIBLE!

We had so much fun. When you get in there, you have to stop at the main building. They were super nice, they gave us a map, gave us directions, and answered questions we had. We set up a National Parks account. We had to use the bathrooms there, they were so clean, I was impressed. We took our 3 year old on the trail to the Aztec Caves, a little less than 2 miles. So beautiful. The trail gets a little narrow and steep. Very steep at the cave entrance. And there's loose rocks, so definitely wear shoes that have grip on the bottom. But my three year old completed the hike. It was awesome, so beautiful. We will be back.

This park is a great hiking destination. The perfect place to go and clear your head. It has the most breathtaking, relaxing views and the hike paths are clearly marked and clean. Well worth the trip and the 5 bux to get in!

Went hiking and had alot of fun trekking up jusy one of the trails (Aztec Caves Trail) at the Franklin Mountains State Park near El Paso, TX. Good trail for most, wear good shoes, and have fun!

Best experience in El Paso. Hiking, biking, camping. Go check out the Aztec caves, nothing to do with the Aztecs, but still an easy nice hike. Lost 1 star for their anti-2A policy, and in Texas to be suprised.

So we had some family in town recently who had never seen the Franklin Mountains State Park. We took everyone on a weekend adventure trip here. Everyone loved it even the children! Great place for a family outing and to get away from technology and things like that for those who are connected with technology.
