Before heading straight to one of El Paso's top attractions, it's worth considering if The Sun City is RV-friendly. El Paso is home to some of the most congested roads in the state, so you're best off avoiding rush hour if you plan on parking downtown. If you don't feel like driving, park your RV at one of the campgrounds on the city limits and use El Paso's Sun Metro bus service or rent a bicycle.
The El Paso Zoo is among the most popular excursions in El Paso, with over 200 animal species from around the world to discover. Highlights from the zoo's collection include African lions, Galapagos tortoises, and Asian elephants. Alternatively, plan a thrilling day-out at Western Playland. West Texas' premier theme park boasts 30 adrenaline-fuelled rides for all ages, from rollercoasters to bumper cars.
No trip to El Paso would be complete without exploring the nearby Franklin Mountains. Franklin Mountains State Park covers over 20,000 acres of stunning mountains and high desert 20 minutes north of El Paso. Scale a mountain on the park's 100-mile trail system, go rock climbing in McKelligon Canyon, or bring along binoculars and spot local bird species, including golden eagles, calliope hummingbirds, and ash-throated flycatchers.
