エルパソ郡周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Take water and snacks. You can refill water bottles inside the Ranger station. The Ranger station has cookies and other snacks if needed. Road is good at the turn - a bit rough several miles up to the turn and several miles out.

Hueco Tanks Road is a fantastic route for a scenic desert ride, with views of impressive rock formations along the way. The road is relatively flat but can be challenging due to strong winds and occasional rough patches. Bring plenty of water, as shade is minimal and temperatures can soar in the Texas sun.

Ascarate Park spans over 400 acres, is the largest public recreational space in El Paso County, and is a local hub for sports, picnicking, and fishing. There is a scenic 48-acre lake with a boardwalk, playgrounds, an aquatic center, and a golf course. There are no drinking fountains here, but it's a nice scenic spot to stretch your legs during a long ride.

The Rio Grande Trail is a rail trail that, as the name suggests, follows the Rio Grande. It is built on the Aspen Branch of the historic Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. The trail is mostly paved, but there are some sections that are packed gravel.

Scenic views

The caves are pretty cool, and you can even scramble up above them and hop onto other trails in the park. There are sweeping views back behind you the entire climb up.

The El Paso Tin Mines Trail is pretty easy to follow and gets a lot of attention in the park. The Mines, themselves, are cool structures, and you can actually go caving inside of them if you want. A real flashlight or headlamp works better than a phone light if you decide to go inside.

Lazy Cow Trail is one of the easiest trails in the park and can be a crowded trail in the busy season. It's a great trail for running because of how smooth and gradual it is. It wouldn't be a bad place to do some strides at the end of a run.
