The Far West Corner of Texas
El Paso is so far west it runs on Mountain Time: Dallas sits an eight-hour drive east, while Phoenix and even the Pacific feel closer. The city wraps the southern tip of the Franklin Mountains, real desert peaks rising from the middle of town with neighborhoods climbing their foothills. Distance from the Texas Triangle never isolated the place, because the I-10 trunk delivers the traffic of two coasts through it every single day.
