El Paso, TX

united states

El Paso anchors far West Texas at the Mexican border, where I-10 crosses the Rio Grande valley. The desert city sits at 3,800 feet with year-round sunshine and the Franklin Mountains rising from its center. Major routes include I-10 east to San Antonio, US-54 north to Alamogordo, and local arteries like Mesa Street. The airport sits just 8 miles northeast of downtown, and several restaurants claim to serve the world's largest breakfast burrito.
