Things to do in El Paso, Texas (TX): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
For an alternative Texas experience, consider El Paso. Located far from the bright lights of Dallas or San Antonio, in the state's western corner along the sparkling shores of the Rio Grande, El Paso boasts a different feel than its eastern counterparts. A true melting pot of American and Mexican culture, the combination is noticeable everywhere. Visit the El Paso Museum of Art and see American works from the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as Mexican colonial art and retablos from the 1700s and 1800s. Restaurants serve authentic Mexican cuisine, Texas barbecue or a little of both. While this fusion of cultures draws some, the rock climbers who descend on El Paso have only one thing in mind: scaling the massive boulders of Hueco Tanks State Park. Those who prefer the ground can wander through the park's interpretive center and see ancient Indian pictographs. Other popular El Paso pastimes include golf, mountain biking and our personal favorite, stargazing.

Inventing abstract figurative imagery is my calling, and for fifty years I've been obsessed with creating surreal narrative bronze and cast stone sculptures, pen and ink drawings, photographs, and most recently assemblages. My joy is in creating whimsical, anthropomorphic creatures that lend themselves to scenario.

This house wasn’t hard to find. It stands out in the residential neighborhood in which it is located. Lots of intricate work. The owner obviously invested a lot of time in outlining every piece of the stone work. The art work covers the sides and front of the house. Plenty of places to park. Was worth the stop while in the area.
8. El Paso Streetcar

El Paso's historic streetcar-once a staple of the Sun City's public transportation system-is riding through city streets again! First put into service in 1936, the Presidents' Conference Committee (PCC) cars' streamlined design was attractive, quieter and more economical than earlier versions of streetcars. Ride the rails in historic style!
