There really isn’t much to check out in El Paso other then Hueco Tanks and the Franklins. However, the nearby Las Crusces and Alamogordo areas are well worth checking out in addition to El Paso.

My wife and I have been talking about coming to visit El Paso. I appreciate your post on Hueco Tanks and the Franklin Mountains. We will be checking out both when we come.

Comment on On Walkabout At: Alamo Mountain, New Mexico by Dobbs

Thanks for commenting. Now I know where to look the next time I take a drive over there. Do you know if Alamo Mountain is the only mountain in the Cornudas range that has petroglyphs?

Hi there. Nice photos and great story.
I work with the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance and know Otero Mesa like the back of my hand. Unfortunately, someone gave you wrong directions for where the petroglyphs are. They are indeed located on the western side of Alamo Mountain, but they are near the base of the mountain and running about halfway up on the entire western side. Goodluck next time!

Comment on On Walkabout On: Anthony’s Nose In the Franklin Mountains by Dobbs

Thanks for visiting the site. You can also hike to Anthony’s Nose by parking off the side of New Mexico Highway 404 and hiking in that way. That is the way I am going to try the next time I hike in. I am going to attempt to get to the top of the Nose sometime this spring with cooler temperatures than when I went in the early fall and ran out of water. It would help though if the Texas State Parks Dept. would actually build a trail to the top of the Nose so you don’t have to break so much brush to get to the top.

Wow, weird timing. I came upon your post after I did a Google search looking for advice on summiting Anthony’s Nose because I failed in almost the same say you did on Friday, Feb. 19.

I keep thinking there has to be a better starting point than Tom Mays Park. I started there, as well, but took Shaffer’s trail to the east before quickly just going cross country. My GPS told me I had hiked 2.5 miles and was .73 miles from the summit when I turned around because I was running out of time and energy.

Oh well, I’m going to keep searching for a better starting point, but nice post and good pictures! I’ll have to bookmark this blog.

Comment on On Walkabout On: New Mexico’s Snowy Sierra Blanca Peak by Dobbs

It is incredible how far away this mountain can be seen on clear days. I was flying back to El Paso recently from Dallas and I wish I had brought my camera because the view from the airplane of the peak was just incredible.
