A very interesting Texas State Park not far out of El Paso. Indian petroglyphs. Small park, limited number of sites which are tightly controlled. Good hiking and some scaling. Reservations a must but well worth it; quiet and definitely off the beaten track.
We stayed here in a Travel Trailer. | | Comments (0) |
