Discovering the Beauty of Franklin Mountains State Park

[@pattycook9143]

How is climbing those mountains and spending nights in those caves before it became popular we climb that mountain just about every other weekend when it was wild and Free we went over on horseback set up camp and climb to the top using ropes and climbing gear I grew up there and I absolutely love it you're absolutely wonderful I hope and pray they don't mess it up anymore than what it already is. Those mountains are absolutely wonderful and it has given me a memory that is absolutely wonderful and I will never forget I absolutely love El Paso

[@MrSTravelQuest]

These mountains are beautiful, it’s one of our favorite Texas State Parks. Wished we spent more days in El Paso to explore some other trails. We look forward in returning to see the other side of the mountain.

[@TexasFamilyCamping]

I would totally explore that mine, so COOL! We will be checking this park out, thanks for the tour. Excellent video as always.

[@MrSTravelQuest]

It’s a nice park and can you believe it has over 52 trails? We were supposed to do two days here, but it had a dust and visibility was limited. Thanks for stopping by David! I always appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@TexasFamilyCamping]

@@MrSTravelQuest dude, look at those numbers. Your almost there, and you are beating us in daily views, you are a rockstar

[@MrSTravelQuest]

@@TexasFamilyCamping I’m excited! I enjoy making the content and talking to others folks about the parks. I love seeing out channel grow together. Your almost at 1.1k. I’m sure by end of the year your will have over 2k.

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Hi friend! I'm watching the stream and it's cool. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Whoo Hoo #999!

[@doughutchison6382]

Another great video! We weren’t familiar with this state park. Very cool!

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Thank you Doug. This is one of my favorite parks. So many trails and the park is huge. We went here last year during this time 😊

[@wellness-strides]

Great views! Thank you for sharing!

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fromshadowlands]

Awesome video! Just subscribed!

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Sweet thanks! Franklin Mountains was awesome!

[@MrDmonies327]

Hiking the Franklin, Davis, and Guadalupe Mountains are on my bucket list - but it's quite a trek to get there from Central TX.

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Guadalupe Mountain is in my bucket list too! Yes El Paso is far and planned this trip for spring break. We visited Franklin Mountains and Hueco Tanks. Both parks are amazing! Which parks do you like going to in Central Texas?

[@MrDmonies327]

@@MrSTravelQuest Mother Neff is close to home and beautiful. I also enjoy heading up to Dino Valley and down to McKinney and Guadalupe River St Park. Dino has been my favorite hike around here so far, but the kids preferred the trails at Guadalupe River because there was less incline :D

[@MrSTravelQuest]

@@MrDmonies327 Mother Neff a beautiful park and definitely underrated. My son loved Dinosaurs Valley SP. We spent all day checking the tracks and swimming. We didn’t do much hiking 🤦‍♂️. Guadalupe River beautiful, they just opened up the discovery center too. The Bauer Unit side nice as well. I’m looking to visit Government Canyons soon, I want to see more of the parks that’s near San Antonio.

[@danielgregorcyk]

@@MrDmonies327 I actually live in the area and recently hiked up them. It is worth it. You will also find some crystals a,on the way.

[@MrDmonies327]

@@danielgregorcyk we made it out to Big Bend NP and the davis mountains last year. It was worth every mile of the drive!

[@TerryX2Explore]

Looks like a great place to explore! Another great video!! Glad to see your channel is doing so well - congrats! 😀👍

[@MrSTravelQuest]

It’s a beautiful park! Glad we went and it’s one of the largest urban state park in the States. Glad we are growing together Terry :-), thanks for watching.

[@TheTravelingTexan]

I've never been out west but want to go someday. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrSTravelQuest]

You will! This park huge and know you will love hiking it.

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

The Cave hike was probably my favorite except for that loose rock area near the top. I'm digging the campsites. Gorgeous views from some. 👍💪 Nicely done.

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Those loose rocks were no joke. Us and few others folks tripped coming down. We loved exploring the cave and tin mine. Can you believe this park has over 52 trails!

[@ConsidertheWonders]

It’s a haul to get down to El Paso from Dallas. We had considered checking this one out if we do Arizona. This one will probably be on our bucket list for a while. Looks cool, very spacious. That mine looked neat.

[@MrSTravelQuest]

It was a 7 hour drive for us. We decided to visit Franklin Mountains and Hueco Tanks since it’s in the same area. Franklin Mountains is a huge park and couldn’t believe how many trails it had. When we go back I’m bring a real flashlight to explore deeper into the mines.

[@NeverStopAdventuring]

Aw, I love this video! My parents used to live in El Paso and I've been to Franklin Mountains State Park. We did the Aztec Cave trail. I did not know about the tin mines, those look so neat!

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Thank you so much 😊. The Aztec trail was neat. You could do the tin mines from the Tom Mays Unit, but it was 9 miles over the mountain. We drove around to a different entrance for the 6.6 miles tin mine trails. The mine pretty cool and you get some nice views of El Paso.

[@WhereTheBASShasNoName]

Check out Big Bend National Park and Davis Mountains SP

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Planning on checking those out later this year. Any trails you recommend at those parks?

[@ktkamping4975]

Hi guys. Said hi to you on McGuires on Tires last night and wanted to come over and watch a few videos and subscribe to get you over the 1k mark. This is a great review. Pretty cool area. The mine area is really cool Hit the red button. New friends here. Thanks for sharing. KTKamping Kent and Tami

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Thank you so much! I can’t believe we hit the 1k much whoo hoo! If you visit Texas definitely give this park a visit. Thanks for watching and commenting. The McGuire stream was pretty cool, I love chatting it up with the RV/Camping community.

[@ktkamping4975]

@@MrSTravelQuest Its a great community. Lots of great people that are willing to help each other out. Take care. KTKamping Kent and Tami

[@tnttom223c]

How hot does it get at the Franklin mountains state park?

[@MrSTravelQuest]

As long as it’s not summer, it’s not too bad!

[@Vagabondnaturelover]

You need hiking poles. They would have been helpful on the rocks

[@MrSTravelQuest]

We recently purchased some after this park. Can never be too careful 😊

[@mikeskywatcher6763]

is elpaso really part of new mexico culturally?

[@MrSTravelQuest]

El Paso has both American and Mexican culture. It's sits right across Juarez, Mexico. Wished we had more time in the area, downtown El Paso is amazing!
