    Fabulous, unforgettable view! We moved to El Paso from out of state just to experience this whenever we wanted to. Historical sites are a must also.

    Start at Alabama street. I love visiting this overlook. We went on a Saturday evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. We parked for a little bit but we didn't want to prevent other people from enjoying the landscape view of U.S. and Mexico. Drive the speed limit, be safe. Also, the houses at the top are amazing!

    Not a lot of parking but if you get a spot it’s a great opportunity to watch a magnificent sunset. Definitely a great place to overlook the cities at night as well. Just be sure to bring a jacket because it can get windy
