Franklin Mountains State Park
One of the largest urban state parks in the country, the Franklins rise right out of El Paso and shape the city's skyline and outdoor culture.
The Franklin Mountains run right through El Paso, and the state park that covers them is one of the most distinctive outdoor spaces in the region.
A mountain range inside the city
Franklin Mountains State Park stretches across the top of El Paso and is one of the largest urban state parks in the country. Its trails and ridgelines are a big part of why outdoor living is such a natural fit for El Paso homeowners.
Whether you hike, bike, or just take in the view, the Franklins are a reminder of how much El Paso's landscape shapes daily life here.
Why El Paso homeowners love the outdoors
With so much sun and open space, El Paso homeowners spend a lot of time outdoors — which is exactly why things like custom pools, patios, and desert-friendly landscaping make so much sense here.
If the Franklins inspire you to make the most of your own outdoor space, that's a great reason to look into a backyard upgrade.
Local tip: Bring water and plan hikes for early morning — El Paso sun is strong, even on cool days.
