The El Paso Franklin Mountains are a spectacular sight - and you can see them from 6,000 feet in the air, in addition to the pristine natural beauty of Hueco Mountains and Mexico's beaches.

The Wyler Aerial Tramway at Franklin Mountains State Park gives a bird's-eye view of the picturesque beauty and rugged serenity of the land in and around El Paso. The arial cable car traverses 200 acres of mountain and rock formations on the east side of the Franklin Mountains.

A gondola transports sightseers to the top of Ranger Peak. From the vantage point, cacti and rock formations are in full view, along with wildlife that hides and plays along the mountains.

The pinnacle view offers vistas of 3 states and 2 nations, giving a singular story of the rugged southwest.

Birders will also appreciate the views through the area designated and created by the local Audubon Society, known as Feather Lakes.
