El Paso - Scorpions and other nightlife in the Franklin Mountains State Park
Turning over a few rocks, leaning over for a closer look at some plants, and a simple handheld UV/black light revealed some amazing things at the Franklin Mountains State Park, both during daylight and at night! We were fortunate to join Dr. Hyder on a night hike and Texas Master Naturalist class, and he shared so much of his knowledge of the desert southwest with us. A great day and night at the park!

El Paso is a city in west Texas, along the waters of the Rio Grande. Outside the city, Franklin Mountains State Park is home to cacti and desert wildlife like coyotes and golden eagles. The park’s Wyler Aerial Tramway ascends to Ranger Peak for views of the city and to Mexico. Nearby, the National Border Patrol Museum traces the history of the U.S. Border Patrol, from its founding in 1924 to the present.
El Paso is geographically divided into several parts with the Franklin Mountains and Fort Bliss cutting the city into distinct sections. Each area has its own style and culture. West Side is between the Franklin mountains and Mexico and New Mexico includes El Paso's most affluent neighborhoods along the side of the mountain. Providence Memorial Hospital, Sierra Medical Center, Las Palmas Medical Center, El Paso Country Club, and the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) are located here. The UTEP area (Kern Place) is emerging as an entertainment district with restaurants and nightclubs also known as the Cincinnati Entertainment District. The Sun Bowl, Don Haskins center, and Centennial Gardens are all located on the UTEP campus.
Downtown is in the southern part of El Paso, just below the tip of the Franklin Mountains. The streets of Downtown are often difficult to navigate for first time visitors, especially with the current construction. Parking (there are many cheap areas to park your car for the day) is probably the best bet. Walking through Downtown, there are many little shops reminiscent of Mexico and many small cafes. Many of the buildings are historic and very beautiful. The Downtown area boasts a beautiful plaza in the center of the city. The El Paso Museum of Art, the Plaza Theater, El Paso Civic Center and a children's science museum, Insights, are all located here.
North East El Paso is home to Fort Bliss Military Base. Fort Bliss is one of the largest US Military bases in the world and Northeast El Paso is home to many active and retired servicemen and women. East Side of El Paso is the fastest growing area mostly home to middle class working families. The Socorro Student Activities Complex (SAC), Del Sol Medical Center, Las Palmas Marketplace, Cielo Vista Mall and Bassett Center are all located in East El Paso. It is close to the Mission Trails area and Hueco Tanks State Historic Site.

Hueco Tanks Pre Tour Walk 10- 2018
Hueco Tanks is an area of low mountains in El Paso County, Texas, in the United States. It is located in a high-altitude desert basin between the Franklin Mountains to the west and the Hueco Mountains to the east. Hueco is a Spanish word meaning hollows and refers to the many water-holding depressions in the boulders and rock faces throughout the region. Due to the unique concentration of historic artifacts, plants and wildlife, the site is under protection of Texas law; it is a crime to remove, alter, or destroy them.[1]
Hueco Tanks State Historic Site is located approximately 32 miles (51 km) northeast of central El Paso, Texas, accessible via El Paso's Montana Avenue (U.S. Route 62/U.S. Route 180), by turning at RM 2775. The park consists of three syenite (a weak form of granite) mountains; it is 860 acres (350 ha) in area[2] and is popular for recreation such as birdwatching and bouldering.
he first paintings made at Hueco Tanks were done by members of the Desert Archaic Culture, and depicted abstract designs.[5] These were created between 6000 and 3000 B.C.[5] Between 3000 BC and 450 A.D., pictures of animals and humans were drawn on the rocks.[12]
Most of the pictographs at Hueco Tanks are of Jornada Mogollon origin.[13] The drawings may have been used in praying for rain.[13] The Jornada's religion was influenced by Mesoamerican religions.[14] Many of the Hueco Tanks drawings depicted Tlaloc, a rain god and Quetzalcoatl.[14]
Modern graffiti by Anglo people started appearing when someone painted 1849 over some of the original pictographs.[15]
The first scientific overview of the rock paintings at Hueco Tanks happened in the summer of 1939 with Forrest and Lula Kirkland recording the art.[16] Most of the colors used in the paintings came from minerals in the area.[17] The paintings themselves became bound to the rock through the aging process.[16]
In 1972, the El Paso Archaeological Society (EPAS) and the Anthropology Club of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) systematically documented the drawings, their current conditions and sometimes relocated and inspected the rock art.[18] The project discovered 300 previously unrecorded pictographs.[18] The findings of their work was published in A Rock Art Inventory at Hueco Tanks State Park (1974).[18] In 1988, park ranger Dave Parker and archeologist Ron Ralph plotted the location of all known pictographs.[18] A digital database of the art and its GPS coordinates was started in 1999 with Robert Mark and Evelyn Billo.[18]
