Took my son and grandson (5 years old). We all had a great time. No wait to go up or down and we were there on a Saturday. The weather was pretty clear for El Paso so we had good views of the surrounding area. Parking was ample and the price is very reasonable. It was not crowded at the... More

For 7 bucks you get a scenic view of el paso, juarez and new mexico.. I loved it and there are hiking trails that lead to a crashed ww2 plane in the mountains.

It is easy taking the cable car up and, if you decide to hike down, BE PREPARED! It was DIFFICULT! I consider myself to be in reasonable physical shape and was extremely grateful for any stops, whether for another drink of H2O or resting on one of the benches. The trail ultimately does descend to the parking lot, but only... More

We've been up to the top of other mounts and had the opportunity to walk on trails and wander. For Wyler, you wait a long time to take the tram. When you get to the top, there is no where to walk around. You see the view and wait to go back down. All while the bugs are converging. Not... More

This was one of the first attractions my husband and I checked out when we moved here. It was awesome. This is something everyone should do once, just for the views and the history of the region. There is also a nice little gift shop at the top with souvenirs and light refreshments. If you don't want to pay to... More

Took my dogs and hike my way up and went around Franklin Mt. Great time to spend a Saturday morning. The best part of it, there is no charge for hiking or you can always hike up and come down the Tramway and pay only half the ticket.

It's not the tallest mountain or the most impressive, but there is something wonderful about being able to see Texas, New Mexico and Mexico from one location. Cute little cacti garden at the bottom, small gift shop at the top. If your lucky you may see some animals!

The wait was long but very worth it. I went the day after Thanksgiving. Here's a hint: they are open on the holidays and said it was very slow. The guides were very helpful in telling about the area during the tram ride and orienting us to the area. the view was absolutely awesome. The price was very reasonable.

This is a must see attraction here in El Paso Texas. Our family made our second trip with our guest from out of town, they as we really injoyed the ride and the wait times to get up the mountain and down were not bad. There is a small gift shop at the top with interesting bits of Frankilin Mountain... More
