While in El Paso Thebes and I visited Franklin Mountains State Park.

I took this pic on our way out. We had to be out by a closing before they locked the gates.

The scenery was gorgeous.

We hiked on a couple trails. The paths weren’t easy. All the rocks were hard on our feet.

The park is really big-almost 25,000 acres total. It’s the largest urban park in the US and is part of the city of El Paso.

Thebes took some pictures with his large format camera. I had the Penguin pull a Crasher Squirrel moment.

There was so much beauty everywhere!

The yuccas were so big!

This yucca stalk looked like a spinal cord to me.

Thebes in the car, figuring out the way back to our hotel.

After our El Paso visit we headed back to New Mexico.
