Colorado Bend State Park. Cedar Chopper trail (easy), over to Tinaja (difficult). Then down one of the 4-5 descents on Tinaja. Highly recommended trail for those wanting a challenge. 1st descent goes from about 1350ft down to 1150ft.. FUN!! Best state park within 100 miles of Austin.
There's a Drive Thru Zoo in DFW?!! | Family Trip to Fossil Rim
SUBSCRIBE to my channel!
Hope you enjoyed this Family Trip to Fossil Rim Vlog! xoxo
We had so much fun! This was such a great alternative to being in the direct heat at a regular zoo && we were able to get so close and feed the animals. Our son loved it so much, we definitely plan to go back.
They do have tour busses where they have a guide if you're interested in learning a little more about the animals and the land.
*** NOTE: No, our son was not strapped in his car seat while we drove in the park. We never exceeded a speed limit of 15mph and we wanted him to get the full experience. :)

Franklin Mountain State Park
El Paso Fall 2012 Franklin Mountains State Park is a Texas state park in El Paso, Texas in the United States. It is at an elevation of 5,426 feet (1,654 m).[1] It is the largest urban park in the nation lying completely within city limits, covering 24,247.56 acres (9,813 ha).[2] Franklin Mountains State Park is open for year-round recreation including hiking, mountain biking, picnicking and scenic driving and vistas.
Native Americans and other travellers have used the natural resources in the Franklin Mountains when crossing the gap between the Franklin Mountains and the Juarez Mountains that is now Ciudad Juárez across the Rio Grande in Mexico and El Paso. Pictograms and mortar pits confirm a human presence in the mountains dating back more than 12,000 years.[2]
The Franklin Mountains are most likely named for Benjamin Franklin Coons, who in 1849 purchased a ranch in what is now El Paso. At first known as Coons Ranch, by 1851 the settlement took on Coons' middle name and was called Franklin.[3] Despite the town being officially named El Paso in 1852, the locals continued to call it Franklin throughout the 1850s.[4]
The El Paso Tin Mining and Smelting Company operated a tin mine on the northeast slope of North Franklin Mountain from 1909-1915. While the mine had the distinction of being the only tin mine ever located in the U.S., it was an economic failure.[2][5]
Efforts to grant protected status to the Franklin Mountains began as early as 1925. A real estate developer sought to build housing on the mountains and in 1979 he built a road up into them. A local organization known as the Wilderness Park Coalition was to convince the Texas Legislature to protect the mountains in 1979. Despite this success the legislature, in the same bill, prohibited funding for the development, operation and maintenance of the park.[6] The property was formally acquired in 1981.[2] Changes to the legislation were made in 1985 when a plan for park development was established[6] and the park was opened to the public in 1987.[2]
[edit]The Franklin Mountains are 23 miles (37 km) long and 3 miles (4.8 km) wide) and stretch from El Paso into New Mexico.[7] The Franklins were formed due to crustal extension related to the Cenozoic Rio Grande rift. Although the present topography of the range and adjoining basins is controlled by extension during rifting in the last 10 million years, faults within the range also record deformation during the Laramide orogeny, between 85 and 45 million years ago.[7]
The mountains are the southernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains in the U.S.[5] The Precambrian rocks atop North Franklin Mountain are the highest geological structure in the state of Texas.[8] The highest peak is North Franklin Mountain at 7,192 feet (2,192 m). North Franklin Peak can be accessed via a trail located east of Mundy's Gap. The mountains are composed primarily of sedimentary rock with some igneous intrusions. Geologists refer to them as tilted-block fault mountains and in them can be found billion-year-old Precambrian rocks, the oldest in Texas.[7]
[edit]Franklin Mountains State Park is open for year-round recreation. Development of the park is limited and much of the land is far from paved access roads and parking areas. Two hiking trails can be accessed from Woodrow Bean Transmountain Drive. Plans for a network of 100 miles (160 km) of hiking trails are under consideration.[2] Rock climbing is permitted in the park and well established climbing areas are located in McKelligon Canyon The park headquarters is also located in McKelligon Canyon. Five camping areas are found in the Tom Mays Unit of the park with picnic facilities.[2]
