Southwest® flights to El Paso starting at $49

These indoor attractions can be balanced with outdoor adventures. In northern El Paso is Franklin Mountains State Park, the largest urban park in the U.S. It offers ample hiking trails among its 24,000-plus acres that range from easy out-and-backs to strenuous summits—and many of these come complete with arresting views of the city below. Head a little further north, just across the New Mexico border, and you’ll run into stunning White Sands National Park. One of the nation’s newest national parks, it won’t take long to understand why this place ought to be preserved. The park’s 275 square miles of desert are filled with bright white gypsum sand dunes that possess an almost otherworldly beauty, certain to leave a lasting impression.

Of course, the New Mexico border is not the only one you can cross while you’re here. Passport-holders can make their way into Mexico from El Paso and enjoy a visit to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico’s fifth-largest city. But no matter which side of things you decide to see, Southwest® can get you there with ease. Explore affordable flights into El Paso International Airport and start plotting your itinerary today.
