So a lot of folks in this nation can get to Northeast and East Tennessee to enjoy the great outdoors.”

Sometimes when you travel your destination may be surrounded by other points of interest that are nearby enough to take a visit. This can truly be said for the city of El Paso Texas. This city sits on the westernmost part of the state where Texas, New Mexico and Mexico meet. Do you want to know of things to do in El Paso Texas?
El Paso the city is rich in history, culture and food. If you ever go there you must visit the downtown museum row and the nearby mission churches as well. El Paso is the sixth largest city in Texas, United States. The city of El Paso and other nearby cities, such as Juarez and Las Cruces, New Mexico are referred to as The Borderland. El Paso, nicknamed “Sun City” is also said to be the home to children of the Spanish Conquistadors. Want to really know what to do in El Paso Texas?
What to do in El Paso Texas is an open ended question since your options are limitless. Most visitors are not able to see and experience the New El Paso experience in even a full week visit. That is why visitors often return to enjoy the El Paso culture year after year.
Many visitors to downtown El Paso often stay in the mid-century modern hotel called Hotel Indigo which has views of the downtown area. This entire downtown area is widely known as El Centro and has a bicultural identity. The El Paso downtown Arts District which is known for its exhibitions, concerts, festivals and museums. The El Paso Museum of Art has free admission and a unique collection of modern contemporary Mexican and American art.
Another must see is the historical missions in El Paso dating back to 1660. The El Paso Mission Trail Association is dedicated to the education, promotion and preservation of the missions at Ysleta, Socorro, and the San Elizario Chapel. These three historical landmarks are listed as the oldest churches in the state of Texas.
You will notice that right across the border is Ciudad Juarez in Mexico. One of the neighborhoods closest to the Mexico border is called Sunset Heights. It’s an older neighborhood but is slowly being reinvested it again to be prominent part of Old El Paso. El Paso is one of the largest ports of entry on the US-Mexico border and it’s a major centre for manufacturing and international trade. In fact it’s the 16th largest trading centre in the United States. It’s also interesting that El Paso’s primary sectors of manufacturing include automobiles and electronic components. Passing the border is an everyday occurrence for many people here in this region of Texas with almost 20,000 pedestrians a day and 35,000 cars.
The entire El Paso region is located on the Chihuahuan Desert. Annual rainfall here is very scarce but it’s more prominent in the summer months. The best views of the city is when you take the scenic drive overlook where you can see the Rio Grande Ciudad de Juarez and surrounding mountains called the Franklin Mountains of Texas that are a small range of mountains that extend from El Paso into New Mexico. The highest peak reaches 7,192 feet.
While in the El Paso area, you must take a trip into New Mexico one and a half hours north to the White Sands National Monument. It’s more like a national park that you have to see to believe. As you come upon White Sands from a distance, it resembles a snow covered white sand winter wonderland.
White Sands National Monument is the largest gypsum dune field in the world. This unique sand gypsum is a mineral that dissolves in water and tends to get washed away but in this one arid region, the climate is dry enough so that the gypsum sand has spread over a 275 square mile area.
The environment here in White Sands is very dramatic and constantly changes with the wind. The White Sands National Monument is the perfect place for locals and visitors alike to do hiking, photo shoots or sledding if you like these beautiful sand dunes
Also about 108 miles by car from El Paso is Cloudcroft, New Mexico. The elevation here is 8,668 feet above sea level and you often get snowfall up here during the winter months.
Cloudcroft is somewhat of a touristy classic 1860’s western timber town with lots of fun things to do and see. The thing you will notice first is the quick change from the high desert below to a mountainous rocky terrain with ponderosa pine everywhere.
My brother Bob and his wife Patty recently visited Cloudcroft, New Mexico with friends and had a fabulous time. They said they were busy all day long visiting the various shops, restaurants and points of interest all over town. Just to let you know, Bob is a snow lover but wore his shoes during most of their visit there.
Cloudcroft’s local museum is filled with the logging and railroad history of the area. Cloudcroft showcases unique events all year long. Summertime temperatures in Cloudcroft at this altitude typically stays in the cool 70 degree range as locals and visitors really enjoy it. During the winter season, it’s all about ice skating, skiing and inner tubing that everyone loves.
Bottom line it’s adventurous to visit the entire El Paso region with New Mexico, Mexico and other attractions being so close. Things to do in El Paso Texas alone will keep you entertained and quite busy all week long day after day so enjoy your stay and welcome to the New El Paso.
Fun, food and adventure in the desert starts here!

“This is a pretty informative TRAVEL USA video produced and published by TOUROPIA on Nov 13, 2017 giving great insight of their select list of the Top 10 Tourist Attractions across the USA. See the full video link at the bottom of this article.”
As one of the largest and most diverse countries in the world, The United States boast an amazing amount of travel destinations ranging from the skyscrapers of New York and Chicago, to the natural wonders of Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and Alaska and also the sunny beaches of California and Florida.
Here’s a look at the top tourist attractions in the USA:
Number 10. French Quarter. New Orleans, Louisiana, is made up of several unique districts, but none is so famous as the French Quarter. Also known as the Vieux Carre, the area truly explores the rich French colonial influences on the city of New Orleans. Incredible architecture abounds, with the St. Louis Cathedral being the main attraction. The French Quarter boasts the Moon Walk, a paved walkway next to the Mississippi River, as well as Bourbon Street, the undeniable hub of nightlife, drinking and entertainment in the city.
Number 9. White House. The White House in Washington DC is the official residence and office of the President of the United States. It was built between 1792 and 1800 and first used by President John Adams. If you’re lucky enough to get inside on a public tour, you’ll see several rooms in the main residence. Tours are available only for groups of 10 or more and must be requested up to six months in advance through your member of Congress or your country’s US Ambassador.
Number 8. Denali National Park. The Denali National Park and Preserve is located in Interior Alaska and contains Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. The word “Denali” means “the high one” in the native Athabaskan language and refers to Mount McKinley. In addition, the park protects an incredible wilderness area that contains grizzly bears, caribou, moose, wolves, and numerous other creatures.

Number 7. Las Vegas Strip. The gambling mecca of the world, Las Vegas is situated in the midst of the southern Nevada desert landscape. Casinos can be found throughout Las Vegas, but the strip, a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South, contains the most of them. It features giant mega-casino hotels, decorated with lavish care and attention to detail to create a fantasy-like atmosphere. The casinos often have names and themes that evoke romance, mystery, and far-away destination.
Number 6. Kilauea. Kilauea is the most recent of a series of volcanoes that have created the Hawaiian Archipelago. It is a very low, flat shield volcano, vastly different in profile from the high, sharply sloping peaks of stratovolcanoes. Kilauea is one of the most active volcano on the Earth and for that reason an invaluable resource for volcanologists. Thirty-three eruptions have taken place since 1952, not including the current eruption which started on January 3, 1983 and is still ongoing.
Number 5. Niagara Falls. Situated between the state of New York and the province of Ontario, Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders on the North American continent. Niagara Falls is actually three different falls, the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Horseshoe Falls is located on the Canadian side while the other are located in New York. With more than 14 million visitors each year it is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world.
Number 4. Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. The bridge took four years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed, and has become an internationally recognized symbol of California. The famous red-orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick fog that frequently shrouds the bridge.
Number 3. Yellowstone. Yellowstone National Park was the world’s first national park, set aside in 1872 to preserve the vast number of geysers, hot springs, and other thermal areas, as well as to protect the incredible wildlife and rugged beauty of the area. Yellowstone lies on top of a gigantic hotspot where light, hot, molten mantle rock rises towards the surface. Subsequently, the park contains half of all the world’s known geothermal features, with more than 10,000 examples of geysers and hot springs. In addition, grizzly bears, bison and wolves can all be found within the park borders.
Number 2. Manhattan, NYC. Manhattan is one of New York’s five boroughs and is what people most often think of when they picture New York City. It’s familiar skyline and sights have been featured a thousand times on screen. Here you can walk in the shadow of the skyscrapers, picture the Statue of Liberty, see a Broadway show , climb the Empire State building, stroll Central Park, window shop on 5th Avenue or stagger around a museum.
Number 1. Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is located in northern Arizona and is one of the great tourist attractions in the United States. Carved over several million years by the Colorado River, the canyon attains a depth of over 1 mile and 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not the deepest or the longest canyon in the world but the overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape offers visitor spectacular vistas that are unmatched throughout the world.
