From the summit you can see far into Mexico, and across El Paso and southern New Mexico. The giant historic statue of Christ at the summit is both a scenic and spiritual destination.

Sierra Del Cristo Rey translates to "Mountain of Christ the King". It is a peak right on the border of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. There is a cool statue at the top and view all along the trail. This one is smooth enough to really push the pace on the uphill and the downhill.
