Very challanging trail. A specialy the part with chains. But worth to go.

This is a good hiking trail for both experienced and novice hikers. It offers a variety of terrain such as dirt, exposed rock, and loose rock. There is a cave with a view at the end that makes the climb worthwhile. Im not in top shape so I did not make it all the way, but I know Ill be going back to give it another try. Both of the other members of my hiking party were able to complete the hike without difficulty.

Awesome. Do yourself a favor and go for it. Wear appropriate hiking shoes or boots because the shell rock is very slippery. Gloves would be a wise thing to pack for the descent as some areas are best suited for sliding on your backside if you want to play it safe.

Very good Mountain hiking trails. Beautiful views with cave to get out of weather or sun to rest awhile. Restrooms available with picnic table and parking.

These trails arent for the faint of heart. They are well maintained and the park is kept very clean. The rangers are friendly and always willing to chat and help if needed.

Did not mentally prepare when I read this was a trail for experienced hikers. This trail will definitely test you if you are not an experienced hiker, as I found out. Its late October and the weather was perfect, but the climb to the top is no joke. Along the way we saw one snake, a fat squirrel, and 2 tarantulas (or tarantula like spiders). There are some awesome steep slopes that arent the greatest thing in the world to climb up, but it sure was fun to slide down on the way back! There are also some chains to help you get to the top when you reach the higher points of the trail, but there are blue spray painted dots to guide you the entire way. There are great views of both sides of the mountains when you reach the top, and it was pretty windy up there, so hold on to your hats. I wouldnt recommend bringing a dog, but everyone knows there own pets best.

This is a great hike! It’s pretty steep getting up to the ridge, then flattens out a little bit after that. There are some other steep parts that involve a little bit of rock climbing.

Good hiking trail. Beginning is tough and the decent is also tough on the bones. Great views though

Beautiful place with the rocks which can be compared with Middle-Earth locations from The Lord of the Rings

Good trails beautiful view parking with picnic area. Bathroom facilities. If you dont like Trail walking use paved Road.

Love hiking this mountain. I do not recommend for young kids or beginners.

Took my son and his friends here for a hike during their break and it was a great way to for them to be active. It was a lot of fun and very easy to navigate through

Ideal for health & fitness enthusiasts especially early weekend mornings when road leading into canyon is full of joggers & bicyclists.

Main trail well blazed from end to end. South Franklin peak spur not so much. Maintained well, including the chains.

Absolutely amazing place to hike. It can be easy to get lost, but finding a way down isnt too hard if you have a good eye and are experienced in hiking.

Nice start of a long trail. The trail is fairly long and difficult. Have hiked a section of it.

The climb up the the ridge is a tough one but once there is smooth sailing, just remember your path back because it’s easy to get lost

Return to nature...tranquility base #Ohmm Ohmm meditate *

Was a nice a experience hiking up to caves..

Beautiful hike. Bring good hiking shoes and lots of water.

Great hike for moderate level.

Its a quick sometimes challenging trail to do. Theres several stops along the way on both sides, if you dont do full stretch transmountain to Mckelligon canyon. On this occasion we hiked Mckelligon side up to the cave visible from picnic area.

Unforgettable experience! Will be coming back hopefully multiple times before I leave Texas.

My place of tranquility...where my thoughts are gathered to return to nature and thank the Lord for my family, health and my occupational careers...the Lord is w/us *

My daughter and I went this time. But I went by myself once before. Such a workout. But nice

You can find a place to be alone, or hike with others to the two caves. There are rattle snakes and large spiders. Keep you eyes and ears open.

Very tough hike with some great views. I did this hike one May afternoon. It was warm and I took four bottles of water. It was just enough. I was looking for a workout and I got it. The views were spectacular too. There was hardly anyone else on the trail.

Great trail, it has challenges for all skill levels.

Has some very nice views but there are some challenging parts along the trail

Nice moderate hike with great views

Nice place to walk, run, or just hang out outside

Very nice place to hike

Great place run and hike

Trail was fun, but lots of trash on the trail and it needs a lot of TLC. Took my 4, 6, 9, &10 year old to the top without too much hassle.

Steeeeep! But fun... dont give up.

Really a difficult hike but the views are excellent. Definitely wear some really grippy boots, youll need them on the way down.

If you enjoy nature and a good hike, give it a go! I thoroughly enjoyed being out in nature and this trail.

Trails begin very novice and get a bit steeper, very short climb. Very important to watch your footing as there is lots of loose gravel areas. The views are the too and on the way up are great. A few small caves if you will that offer good shade and resting points.

Treak stick highly recommended for portion of the trail

Wonderful trail in the heart of McKelligon Canyon. There are even some old caves there to stop on the way up to the top.

What a challenging and rewarding climb! Wanted to do it for a long time and finally got over my fears enough to go to the top past the second cave. Highly recommended lots water and decent shoes. Great views of El Paso!

It has some very beautiful view.But the gift shop and doesnt have any gifts.Theres no sign to the restrooms.And the restrooms they are not clean or have soap or tissue paper.And they dont have porta potties or restroom at the picnic areas.

Love it here! Beautiful hiking and trail running!

This hikes no joke.

Who doesnt like Mountains?? The Ron Coleman offers a decent challenge to any new comer. The terrain is vast and I often find myself going off trail more than actually using the trail for sake of exploration. I keep coming back for a reason!

Intense, feel good work out. Not too hard but not easy either. Felt like a real hike. The view is amazing and beautiful! Peaceful and rewarding when you make it to cave 1, cave 2, and then the top view. Sunset was gorgeous.

Challenging hike

Beautiful and peaceful views make this a great place. Unfortunately, the broken glass, trash, and used condoms on the floor at the rest areas ruin the experience a bit.

Love this trail. I recommend for those looking to tackle a steeper trek with great views of the city!

Love the hike 5th time here

Great route for hiking. Amazing views!

Went for the scenery wasnt in anything I could consider hiking in so enjoyed time visiting

The view from inside the cave

Loved the hike. Didnt realize that El Paso had a pretty spot like that! Climbing rocks was fun, and the views were spectacular!

My wife and I had a lot of fun on this trail.

Have been out to this park several times when in town. Really enjoyed the hike and the views from the top. Only regret is not having more time to hike along the ridge-line at the top.

Six miles of fun when you start outside the gate

Good walking area.

I love them trails.
