Keystone Heritage Park & El Paso Desert Botanical Garden

West Central

A wetland, an archaeological site dating back thousands of years, and a desert garden — all on the same few acres.

Why go

  • Birding here is genuinely good, especially during migration.
  • Quiet in a way the rest of the city is not.

More outdoors

Franklin Mountains State Park

One of the largest urban parks in the United States, sitting in the middle of the city like a spine.

Hueco Tanks State Park & Historic Site

Rock basins that held water in the desert for thousands of years, ringed by some of the most significant pictographs in North America — and world-class bouldering.

Scenic Drive Overlook

The five-minute version of the mountain view: park, walk to the rail, and see El Paso and Juárez laid out as one city.
