El Paso sits in the far west of Texas, right on the border with Mexico and next to the Rocky Mountains. It is a sunny city where two countries and cultures meet as friends.
You can hike and climb at Franklin Mountains State Park, ride the Wyler Aerial Tramway up a mountain for huge views, or explore the El Paso Zoo. The city is known for its delicious Mexican food too.
Franklin Mountains State Park is one of the largest city parks in the country, right inside El Paso. From the top you can see three states and two countries at once!
El Paso and its neighbor city across the river share food, music, and family ties in a special border community. Its rich Mexican-American culture makes the food and festivals extra fun.
