Last Sunday Hike to West Cottonwood Spring
Last Sunday Hike to West Cottonwood Spring
May 25, 2025
8:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Franklin Mountains State Park - 2900 Tom Mays Access Rd., El Paso, TX 79911
Admission: $5 for adults 13 years old and up; $0 for Texas State Park Pass holders and children 12 and under.

Join a park ranger on a guided hike through the Western foothills of the Franklin Mountains.

This hike begins with a gradual incline through a well maintained trail to wide open vistas to the west. At the paragliding launch site the trail becomes a narrow track cutting across a north facing slope and through a draw to the spring overshadowed by a large Cottonwood tree and surrounded by wild cherry. The return trip travels down over scree, or rubble, proving to be challenging for some.

Bring: water, snacks, hiking boots/shoes, and comfortable clothes.

Optional: binoculars, hiking stick, camera, and a map.

Reservations required; to reserve your spot, call the office at (915) 444-9121.
