I have been here a few times in the past already and every time that I come here, I get the best views of El Paso and Juarez, Mexico! There’s no other place that gives out such amazing views in all of El Paso! Although a good word of advice is that there’s almost no space to park your car or truck and you will struggle to find a parking spot on the weekends particularly around sunset. Beyond that, this place is amazing! All pictures were taken on February 8, 2020.

Good place to view night scene. But not easy to find a parking place. I noticed 95% of the parking places are occupied by cars that parked there for several hours, with all lights off and engine shut off. It looks like people are doing some special activities?I think these people are very selfish, and also poor. They hold the view only for themselves. They want to find exciting moment but are not willing to spend money like in a good hotel or restaurants. Shame on them.

The top of scenic drive you have a clear view of neighboring México and the border. Its mighty impressive at night where both El Paso and Juarez light up. My boyfriend and I went after dark and there were plenty of people, feels safe, a good view, and we put a lock on the love fence.

It is an excellent place to see 3 states and 2 countries from one spot... The 3 states part threw me off, but it includes Chihuahua, Mexico I was told. So... United States, & Mexico are the countries. Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua are the states. There are several plaques to read and learn from on this site as well. Take a short trip and evite the view. I heard it was spectacular at night.

A great view of El Paso and Juarez skylines. You cab see for miles on end and step back to see how big the world truly is.

Absolutely beautiful. Love going out here the view is amazing & its peaceful.

Bring your significant other, a lock and a marker to shear your relationship status on the stairs of love. Pay a quarter to see most landmarks through the binoculars. Most important of all come see the Star ️. It was put into place in by El Paso Electric in 2003 to support troops deployed to invade Iraq from Fort Bliss.

The best view in town. Love this place. Iconic!

Great place. Definitely stop by if you have a chance. It’s good to see it both during daytime and when it’s dark. There’s a place to park. You can see the border with Mexico. Take some quarters for coin binoculars, they let you take a good look at bright different colored houses in the neighbor country.

Nice views of Mexico and Texas. Plenty of different spots to park. As well as many captivating views of the mountains.

One of the last places my family and I went together before I had to head back to reality and school. I cant wait to go back this summer and spend more time exploring. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Parking can get tight the later in the day you go, so make sure to be there early!

Nice drive to get there. Wonderful view. Would be incredible at night. We couldnt stay for that.

Amazing place, beautiful view, there are even places to stay sit and relax, loved the drive and the views. Everyone visiting el paso has to see it!

What a great place to spend some quality time with friends and family. The view remains breathtaking no matter how many times we visit.

Wow. Great views of the surrounding area. Needs funding for litter abatement, badly!

View at night is amazing and worth the drive up. Its okay during the day but at night it was gorgeous.

Its The Thing to see in El Paso, apparently. Its certainly an interesting and unique view, and nicely laid out. Bloody windy, but worth getting off the interstate for.

BEAUTIFUL SPOT to see the entire City of El Paso.. the border .. the lights .. the sunrise and sunset!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Come here for the wide, distant views. Don’t come here and litter. Which several people have, it seems. Kind of dirty.

Litter everywhere! The views of El Paso are great. Definitely a must stop on any trip to El Paso.

I definitely recommend going to this spot if you are visiting El Paso. Great view of the city and Ciudad Juárez.

Nice but litter all over

Very nice view. Nice breeze. Bring binoculars for free closer views.

The day we went it was so windy i could barely keep my balance...lol But it was still a very cool experience..

One of the most beautiful scenic views I have ever seen.

What a great view of the city. I will never forget it. Made all the difference to see it from that vantage point.

Super strong windy winds. A very clear and great view of El Paso city. Worth to drive up and take a look.

Great point of view to see the city

It’s very pretty. Specially at night time.

This scenic Drive is amazing. You can see all the mountains and the view of the entire city of El Paso, breat taking!

Not the best photos, since I was there late night, but this place gives you a beautiful birds eye view of El Paso, the Mexico boarder and Juarez! I wish there was some dim lighting to light the walk paths, and if you go at night make sure to bring a good coat and beanie, it gets super windy and cold up there on the peak!

Definitely make the drive up here if you’re in El Paso

The scenic overlook is a breeze to get to as it has a paved road leading all the way up the mini mountain. There is plenty of space to park once you’ve reached the flags and the viewing area is massive. Make it a goal to go at sunset or even just to witness the stream of lights at nighttime. The views are amazing and worth the effort!

Went there before sunset. The views from here are beautiful. You can see views of downtown, freeways and overpasses, etc. The mountains look great with the sun setting behind them. The only thing is the roads to get up there are steep, winding and kinda narrow.

As a non El Paso native, driving up here was scary and fun. But it is worth it. Beautiful at night

The view is amazing. The only problem is, the parking is for maybe 10 vehicles. Which leads to overcrowding. Beautiful view, just to many people.

Beautiful at night to overlook the city!Make sure to bring a jacket, it gets windy.

Scenery was legendary !! The view overlooking the. It was something id recommend to anybody...

Excellent view you can see mexico Texas and New Mexico

This probably one of the most breath taking views in El Paso

It needs to get cleaned up. There was masks and broken bottles and trash on the landscape. To keep our EP looking at its best does need city maintenance.

This place never disappoints. Is simply relaxing to go there and just enjoy the view or the sunset

Amazing view of El Paso City. Refreshing air... With peace in eyes. Love this place.

Best place to enjoy the sunset It was speechless view. We enjoyed the sunset and also the view of the 2 countries (USA & Mexico) in lights after the sunset.

Gets very crowded but its definitely a pretty place to drive or go for a walk if you can find parking. Lots of young kids there which isnt really an issue most of the time. Just be careful of the crazy drivers that zip through there without acknowledging the speed limit. If going on the weekend make sure you get there early or else your not finding parking.

Amazing views of El Paso and Juarez, I highly suggest going at dusk or night to see the differences! A unique perspective for sure!

The view was beautiful! But so many inconsiderate people littering even though there were trash cans readily available...

Absolutely beautiful! A must see! It was my first time in El Paso and I did not want to leave Scenic Drive!

An amazing place to see El Paso and Juarez Mexico. A historic spot. On windy days youll want a jacket and possibly a tie down . Take your camera as youll want to grab some great photos and selfies with a great background.

Great spot overlooking el Paso and Juarez. Can hardly tell where America ends and Mexico begins. Would recommend to anybody to get some food and picnic over the city.

Beautiful view! Love the mountain drive to get there!!

The view is something to see its beautiful you have to see its for yourself to enjoy it

Great view of El Paso and Juarez

Good place to see the border.

Magnificent location for tourists, newcomers, photographers or videographers. Cross winds make the dirt and sand feel like nano pellets in someones face; therefore, I recommend eye protection or eye drops.Restrooms or porta potties are not available. ADA parking is available; however, the lookout area is NOT accessible. Visitors must utilize a stair to descend and ascend to and from the public grounds.At night the area offers one of the most fascinating views of the city lights. If you do not have any physical impairment that deter you from using stairs, you can go to the apex of the park. If you have mobility impairments, you are restrained to the parking lot area.Maybe one day in this New Way of living, certain areas such as this one can become ADA accessible. :)

Service is great! Food is amazing and who doesnt love Ocean water?!

Windy! But beautiful view at sunset. Well worth the drive and fighting the traffic for parking. (Some people are really inconsiderate.) But the views are astounding and we enjoyed it very much.

Great place to hangout and enjoy the scenery

Super great place to see whole view of El Paso in day and night.

Its beautiful to see El Paso from this point. I got there using street signs: Google Maps mentioned a closing that doesnt exist and sent me to an entrance that doesnt exist.

As a tourist from the Midwest, who has done this drive twice now, I love this drive and to hang out at this outlook! Being from the Midwest, mountains are always a treat to see, but to overlook a whole city from that height is an awesome experience

Loved it went up there and it was beautiful you can see everything in el paso to juarez

This overlook is beautiful with views as far as the eye can see. You really see just how intertwined these cities are and the border just fades away.They have arrows pointing to different land marks around the area and viewers so you can see it closer. Great place to go and see some sights and get some fresh air.Limited parking is available and a couple of land marks are near the mountain side where traffic drives by so be very careful.

Nice little scenic view of the city and Juarez. Closed on Sundays until noon to motor vehicles so that walkers, joggers, and bicyclists can cruise unimpeded. Nice cruise on a moto! #suncitybikelife

Saying goodbye to good ol el paso

Very beautiful overlook onto El Paso. We visited mid-day as well as night.. BEAUTIFUL!!

Stop here and get a panoramic view and great photos!

Very fun to see over the city . Many if the tourist/locals were imbeciles . Sitting on the edge of a steep drop off .cutting you off driving on the narrow road .

Beautiful place. Night view is great.

It lives up to its name. It is Scenic.

This is one of the best views in El Paso. It overlooks Mexico and it beautiful. The road is shutdown for foot traffic at times which makes this even better. Its a slightly challenging spot to run and is full of really friendly people.I take my dog here so does a lot of others and the kids like it too.

Breezy as heck today. 1st rate experience, nonetheless...

Couldnt reach the big star however beautiful view..

If you like nature come to this place in the franklin mountain

Such a beautiful view from up there!

You can see very beautiful scene from here. From El Paso city to Mexico. You need to drive to get there. Night is also ok and no problem to get there. You should visit definitely!!!!

What a view! Its great to see the cities of El Paso and Juarez lit up at night. Quite cold and windy when we went, but the view is spectacular.

This view it’s a must to see!! So much history and beautiful!!

Nice place to stop along scenic drive and take in the views of El Paso and Juarez, Mexico.

Perfect overlook of the Borderland. Parking can be limited.

One of the legendary places of El Paso Tx you dont want to miss

Beautifull scenary

Well worth going out of your way to see in you are in El Paso. The views are amazing.

Nice note just Her and Me

Totally worth the drive. Id recommend it at night.

I can find but only one word that would adequately describe the view from here.... Breathtaking!

Very cool overlook but a bit hard to appreciate views while zigzagging around. Best experienced with two people.

Beautiful El Paso landmark where Texas & Mexico unite in the landscape.

Great drive, check times for sunset and stay for a little bit. It was worth the trip.

Beautiful place anytime of the day!

Beautiful. You can see into Mexico, New Mexico, and El Paso. The mountains are amazing!

Nice place with view to the south.

Pretty drive and doesnt take very long

A nice, quiet relaxing spot with an incredible view. Easy access via a scenic drive up and down.

Interesting corner!! 2 states/3 cities/ 2 countries/a huge wall and lots of fences!!

As usual its just a really neat and cool view that never gets old. It was truly awesome.

Very nice...a must stop and something to experience and enjoy...

A great way to see El Paso and Juarez.

Best view of El Paso and Juarez no doubt!!

Great overlook. Binoculars machines here
