El Paso Mission Trail, El Paso area, Texas
The El Paso Misson Trail connects the mission churches of Ysleta and Socorro and the Presidio Chapel San Elizario, historic churches established during the period of Spanish colonial rule. The trail follows Highway FM 258, a 9-mile segment of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro is the oldest highway in North America.
A group of Spanish colonists left Santa Barbara, Chihuahua in Mexico on an expedition to settle the northern reaches of Spain's territorial claims in 1598. They reached the Rio Grande River near present-day San Elizario on April 30, 1598 where they had a Thanksgiving feast, the first Thanksgiving in what is now the United States, 23 years before the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving.
They followed the Rio Grande into northern New Mexico, extending El Camino to what is now Santa Fe and San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico.
The city that sprang up at a crossing of the Rio Grande has been divided into today's Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas. A mission church established there in the 1660s is the oldest building in the El Paso area.
In the 1680s the natives of northern New Mexico revolted, expelling the Spanish south to the El Paso area. They established new settlements along the Rio Grande, along with hundreds of Tigua and Piro Indians who accompanied the retreating Spaniards. The Spanish would retake northern New Mexico in 1692, but thosse new settlements survived.
Ysleta, Socorro and San Elizario began on the south bank of the Rio Grande River, but an 1829 flood resulted in a new channel for the river, putting these communites on the north side of the river. And, as history would have it, now in the present-day United States.
The churches are active Catholic churches. They are often open to visitors, but visitors should dress and conduct themselves accordingly.

MISSION TRAIL - EL PASO TX
Very few El Pasoans know this, but there are 3 missions in El Paso county!!!! WHAAAAT!?!?!?!? While doing the mission trail, we bumped into people from around the USA doing the trail as well....it is amazing how beautiful the missions are. They are very well kept and the people running them are very nice and friendly. The lady at Socorro was a volunteer and gave us a 30 minute tour of the mission, and Al Borrego at San Eli went out of his way to give us a historical tour of old San Elizario. You can not find friendlier people anywhere else! If you're ever in El Paso, go do the Mission Trail!!!!

El Paso Missions, Texas
Am Old Mission Trail, am Camino Royal, der königlichen Strasse, der ältesten Verkehrsader der USA, liegen mehrere reizvolle Missionen, die älter sind als alle Missionen in Texas und Kalifornien. Sie illustrieren den großen Einfluss der spanischen Missionare im Lower Valley von El Paso. Wir besuchten die Missionen San Elizario, Socorro und Corpus Christi de la Ysleta del Sur. Die letzte Mission lag bei ihrer Gründung noch südlich des Rio Grande, seit der Veränderung des Flussbettes befindet sich diese Mission auf texanischer Seite.
