Very beautiful place. Stuffs are friendly.

Before you even enter the park, several piles of grotesque & random animal bones greet you at the sign, as to warn you that this park is not well maintained! We hiked the Aztec Cave trail, which was about 1.3 miles round trip, but dangerously steep & slippery at some points due to broken stairs & large rocks in the trail. The view is beautiful, but be careful taking small children or pets.

Tom Mays is a great place to bring family, pets, and have a great time outdoors. The geologic history is a wonderful perk of exploring the park.

Excellent place, ideal for a birthday party for hikers! There is plenty picnic areas and a lot of trails to chose!

This is a very good part of the state park. Many trails start here and there are some very good views of the surrounding mountains. I have hiked several of the trails starting here.

Great dog walk and nice place to take portraits. My little bill goat likes to climb the rocks.

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] The Wyler Aerial Tramway is an aerial tramway operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and is located in the Franklin Mountains State Park. The tram is closed to public as of Sept. 2018. The tramway complex covers 196 acres (0.79 km2) on the east side of the Franklin Mountains. The gondolas travel along two 2600 foot 1 3/8" diameter steel cables to Ranger Peak, 5,632 feet (1,717 m) above sea level. The trip takes about four minutes and lifts riders up 940 vertical feet above the boarding area.

Good place to camp out

A great experience it was for me to hike from here to Franklin Mountain States Park.

Google again thinks I've been here. I never have?

Great weather, this March. Beautiful sites. Grill. Few bugs. Plenty of open sites.

The largest urban state park in the US is well worth a visit. Come to camp, hike , picnic , compete in a 100 km run or even to get married. Very welcoming staff who will help your visit be a successful one.

First time at this park. There's lots of hiking from within the campsites. There is no need to drive anywhere. Great variety of hiking trails, Aztec caves, and ridgelines with great vantage points. Highly recommend spending at least two days just for exploring. This is mostly tent sites, but there are 5 RV sites. But beware that they may not be level enough to your expectation. Beware of RV #5 spot as it does slope gradually. RV #4 is best for motorhome with leveling system.

Great park....tennis and basketball court. Big trees, lots of parking space. Playground and soccer fields.

Over a 100 miles of hiking and a couple small campgrounds.

Beautiful

I've always loved Tom Mays park, since I was a Kid & my Dad used to take me hiking there. Then I took my Daughter's & now I take my Granddaughter's.

Maysssss

Good!!!!

Daughter's had fun

Very clean

nice

Beautiful view but after awhile everything looks the same. There are some nice trails to hike but dont forget plenty of water

Excellent visit!!

we went here to join a hike for the district attorneys crime victims. the hike was supposed to be at 8, meaning they should be opened by 6am. but apparently, the rangers aren't letting people in. is this place really welcoming people?! I do not know. it seems they want to. but don't like to do the work that entails it. I mean, what do they even guard a mountain against?! theft? vandalism? loitering? the mountain running away? I have no clue!

Hiking

Beautiful views!

Beautiful views of El Paso; conveniently located and easily accessible

Great place to take the family. Hiking is excellent for all levels of experience. Be sure to bring lots of water. Picnic tables available.

A nice place for mountain views.

Great section of the Franklin Mountains state park. Many nice hiking trails.

You need to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to whenever you want to get there because you will be in line for at least that long. Not sure what’s wrong with the system but they average about 3 minutes per vehicle. They need to have a separate lane for pass holders but then again it still takes them a couple minutes to scan that too.

Great place for trail running ? ??

The company and the backdrop made that place magic. Thanks Sam!

Awesome place to experience hometown nature

Nice trails. Not for the inexperienced or ill prepared. Some parts of the trail are covered in bigger rocks. Signing for the trails is inconsistent.

Nice climbing trail! Sometimes hard, sometimes moderate! Beautiful view from the top of mountains!!!

Great desert park with lots of hiking and biking trails. Take lots of water. Picnic areas are a little outdated with limited facilities. There is an overnight camping area.

Great trails

Quiet relaxing place

Great view, and clean

Awesome place. Absolutely beautiful!
