Come with us as we hike the Aztec Caves Trail in Franklin Mountains State Park, located just north of El Paso, Texas! This scenic 1.2-mile roundtrip trail is a moderately challenging hike that climbs about 350 feet in elevation. Along the way, you’ll experience stunning desert views, rocky terrain, and the peaceful beauty of the Chihuahuan Desert.

The trail leads to the so-called Aztec Caves, a group of shallow caves nestled into the Franklin Mountains.

Today, it’s a popular hiking spot for locals and visitors looking for a short but rewarding outdoor adventure.
