Beautiful place. Only a short drive out of El Paso. I went there 22 years ago and it’s not the same now. Back then there were no controlled access points nor any bathrooms. Now it costs $7 per person to get in but there is some information that you get and there are bathrooms now. The north mountain section is self guided but the rest requires a guide. Guided tours only happen at 9 am and 11 am so time your trip accordingly.
Gorgeous views. Fun, easy and rewarding hikes.
So beautiful and peaceful. Well maintained trail pathways
Neat spot. It was very busy being their one free weekend a year (didn't know that before we went). Definitely a good place for climbers. Not pet friendly.
Beautiful scenery. Many places to hike or even Boulder if that is your sport. You must watch a 15 minute video once a year before you visit. There are tons of artifacts to see.
The grandkids and I had a wonderful day here. So glad we came.
Hueco Tanks is such a beautiful park! It's great for hiking, climbing, bouldering, or sinply getting outdoors! It's also home to rock art and glyphs, so make sure to ask a tour guide about where those are!
A very special place. Please respect the rules as the park makes a great effort to preserve the ancient rock art painted in the park. Go on a tour and you’ll get the full experience!
Beautiful, historic preserve. Guided tours available.
got raped n murdered there in the grotto back in 77 by sherif brute stern lisa doman and some other cops whoever had the mercy to throw off the cliff into the grotto thankyou no hard feelings and the sun goes around the moon as well as the earth sometimes but usually earth around sun but not that time
Beautiful park! Highly recommend if you are around the area. There are various trails, some easy and doable others require more experience.
Great tour! I
This would be a good morning activity, hiking is great, saw some picotgraphs. Will be returning when temps are a little cooler.
Great place to take a walk and get out from city lights
First time there with the kids, had a blast. They have a great initiative to preserve the park and its history. Would recommend going early in the morning to guarantee a spot or calling ahead. Not for kids under 5 yrs of age. Over all beautiful view, great history and lots of wild life to see.
Loved it. Took a tour with Dar and Trish they were amazing!!! Make sure you call ahead because there are visitor restrictions.
Very cool! Worth a hike, just be sure to make a reservation
Very nice area.
Another awesome hike! Did 4 miles up, down and around the North Mountain. The weather was great. Always fun :0)
Everyone there is amazing and so are the views! Once my baby gets older we plan to make a lot more trips.
Gorgeous scenery. So nice to hike and explore nature and God's creations. Sad that humans feel the need to mark over some of the history there.
We originally tried to visit on a Saturday afternoon, but only 70 people are allowed into the self-guided area at a time and 10 people were already ahead of us in the queue. We returned on a Monday afternoon when the park was much less full and got right in. My wife and I spent three hours exploring on our own and taking in the surrounding desert; it was wonderful.
A pretty awesome Texas State Park! Getting into the parking is done on a permit basis, that is explained in more detail on the Texas state park website, Google it :) Going into the park will take a little pre-planning to make sure you have tours set up in advance. To access anything other than the North mountain, a guide is required. North mountain is open to self guided tours. As a rock climber, this is a "world class" climbing spot and is where the bouldering V-scale was invented, finding a guide book is a necessity.
This is a beautiful hiking area with a vibrant history. There is an abundance of wildlife watching opportunities, and a unique topography. A wealth of information can be ingested here, making this a great sitr for amateur scientists, ecologists, and also for those who enjoy picnicing in the great outdoors. There are walking and hiking areas with picnic tables, and there are restrooms available for public use at the state park entrance. You need to watch a video before you go on a self-guided tour, which explains about the sacred historic connections Hueco Tanks has with local Native American tribes. It explains not to touch any of the petroglyphs and which parts of the park are off limits for conservation reasons. There are special rules for taking pets with you, so be sure to inquire if you wish to bring along any of your furry companions. Since this is a popular destination for beginner mountain climbers as well as hikers and campers, this park can quickly reach its max capacity. It is advisable to call head to the park rangers and make sure there is room for you and your party before heading out.
Absolutely amazing and beautiful without second guessing...
Beautiful place, well maintained. Great bathrooms/shower. Not good for young children but great for hikers/history buffs/nature lovers and anyone who enjoys nature's beauty. Huge private sites.
Had an Awesome day w/ Family. Loved the Rock Climbing, You cant get nature like this in Georgia
Walking around the North Mountain and climbing on the rocks made this one of the most fun state parks to visit. A few more rules and hoops, but very understandable with the delicate environment. Loved it!
Place is a must see☝️
World class bouldering in a natural area. Unique geological formations man that Hueco has been important to many different groups for thousands of years. Great place for bird watching and rock art. Like all Texas State parks, the facilities are very nice. Reservations are recommended as the park can fill up fast.
My partner and I visit here quite often. Just having a small walk is truly one of my favorite physical activities within the region. At times it is packed, so I propose to visit during the a bit less popular times within the week. The best thing to carry out here is simply get a camera and take shots.
Beautiful & all day hiking with the kids are great!
Was ok, but there are definitely better places to hike, especially in the summer.
Super cool place I'm the desert! Lots of history, geology, flaura and fauna. Campground are nice with water, power and shower. Make sure to make reservations as there is a population cap for visitor. A great place to visit!
This was an impulse visit and wow were we glad that we did visited. The place is just beautiful with tons of history. We did not do the guided tour because didn't know what to expect nor did we have the time but for those with time I would highly recommend it. The self guided part of the park is only a quarter of the size of the whole thing and it was amazing
Lots of hoops to jump through to get to the petroglyphs. No one answers the phone, tried calling numerous times. Picture map to one of the sites not good enough for me anyway. Sad, really wanted to see that site. Tours only available on certain days, missed out on that too,,,, sad
Beautiful park, lots of historical events with hiking and climbing. This place requires reservations in advance as they only allow so many people per day to visit. They have guided tours that will show you all the history, they have some unguided access to the North mountain for those who want a day at the park.
Great park for climbing/bouldering. You have to reserve a park approved guide first.
Very interesting place worth the visit
Beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Would have given 5 stars but the process itself is a bit of an aggravation. Having to re-register every time you want to explore and if you don't keep up with your paperwork you have to start all over with the process including watching a 15 min video on the history of the park and rules. Overall tho - highly recommend
What an experience, we climbed 4800ft to the peak. It was absolutely breathtaking, could see for miles. Would love to go back again. You cant get views like this in Georgia
Loved this awesome state park. There is camping at 14 dollars a night and a 7 dollar per adult entry fee. Make sure to call the day before to check avalibilty on tent sites.
Great views
Glad we stumbled upon this park
Love this places
This is a great place to climb and hike! It may be a little out there but it is worth it. You get a safety briefing before you enter the park to explore which is super helpful!
First time here and really enjoyed the self-guided tour, be prepared to watch a short presentation before the hike and reservations are for guided tours which you have to book 7days in advance.
A wonderful place to visit. Dress comfortably for the rough terrain!! It's so much fun
The park only allows 70 people at the time, so we waited for an hour and when we were ready to go they told us that no dogs are allowed!! Really!?! They saw our dog when they added us to the waiting list! Ugh!!! Be aware, no pets allowed >=-|
My daughter and I love this place! We go once a month to climb on the rocks!
I live in these mountains. It is so beautiful. Hiking,climbing or just driving around in the mountains. Lots of roads to explore in the Hueco mountain area. Lots of animals to watch. Look for the Oryx, it roams around all the time!
Amazing park
a cultural hub in many dimensions
Love this park.
Hueco Tanks became one of my favorite place. When i saw those big mountains of rocks for the first time, I just couldn't believe it. How did it get there? We hiked for 3 hours on and around the first mountain (you need a guide to go around the other ones) and the views on top of the mountain are so incredible. Anyway, we decided we would go again and camp there to be able to see the whole site.
Beautiful place. Short introduction video, some instructions from the guides and you can start hiking... Watch for snakes! One rattle snake crossed my path...
My husband and I went to hueco tanks. First you have to watch a 15 video on how to NOT destroy the rocks. Duh.... and FYI we were the only ones coming in at that time that stopped to watch this mandatory video. Young kids and other young adults that checked in after us did not!!!!! second. You are not allowed to go passed a couple of picnic tables. We went to that area but my husband is a disabled vet and he couldn’t walk the cactus paths. So we walked on the paved road. The ranger stopped to tell us we could only be in that area. Again. Duh.... all roads are closed anyway. The carved graffiti at the couple of picnic table are horrible. My question is where the heck were these rangers when these people were carving their names in the rocks. Or is it because we’re old and disabled????? My advice is DONT GO HERE! Not worth it!!
A fantastic place to camp and hike.
Nice and quiet with beautiful scenery. Not enough open trails due to over regulation due to previous vandalism.
Me and Hueco Tanks just became best friends!
This park is less than 900 acres but it's absolutely stunning, a true hidden gem of the world. You could go every weekend for a year and visit something different every day. I don't imagine I could've enjoyed a place any more. The staff was incredibly helpful as well, the trail boss on a whim started explaining to us where to find hidden artifacts and paintings and was just happy to share the park with us. I would highly recommend this place.
It's okay. Nothing to write home about
Love it first time going it was a awesome experience I would highly recommend for anyone if you have kids I’ll say maybe 10 and older since they do need to be careful because all the rocks but I’ll definitely will be coming back
Definitely a fun and enjoyable place to visit the outdoors. Some areas are a little bit difficult to get to if you have smaller children. Ample variety of paths and guided tours as well. It is a definite must see if living or visiting the El Paso area.
Can't be beat for desert style state parks
Nice but needs physical abilities in order to enjoy
A long drive from anywhere, but excellent bouldering! December through March are busy, but the temperatures make it worth it
This is a must do Texas State Park. The historic and cultural significance of this place is palpable. The views are excellent and the hiking is accessible. My wife and I took our 2 year old daughter and she had a wonderful time watching the rabbits hop down the trails.
Didn't get to go visit. No where did it say go Huenco Sands costs. it does $7 a person.
What an incredible historic site to visit. This park has everything from rocking climbing (bouldering), hiking, native American paintings, wild west stopover (Butterfield stage coat) Mexican army and Indian stand off, vernal pools called Hueco, unique flora, hiking, camping, and picnic areas - just 30 minutes outside of el paso. A must see in the El Paso area.
Nice place for a hike, thay give guided tours as well and educate you on the history. Be prepared to watch a 20 minute video to get a license to hike
You can experience so wonderful adventure with the great nature~♡
Scenary is absolutely beautiful and getting traverse the mountains can be very rewarding, make sure to take plenty of water and sunscreen
A nice park to take a stroll in a sunny winter day
What a wonderful place to visit, especially if you like good hiking! While we arrived a bit later than we wanted, we still had time to hike up the north rocks and see multiple pictographs on the rocks. The history of this place's use is really new too. Great stop if you're in the area or driving east-west!
Awesome place to see our history intact. Our guides were so informative and helpful during our hike.
The video you have to watch is a hilarious blast from the past (recorded in 2000 but looks like its 1990 judging from the mustaches and short shorts). The most fun I think I've ever had at a state park. Wish I had time to take the guided tour to the closed off area- be sure to take time for that and call ahead for times.
This is a hidden gem. The website doesn't do it justice. We thought we'd only be there for an hour, but 4.5 hours later we were still exploring the area. We had a lot of fun climbing all around and even saw some mountain goats. Seeing the pictographs is really cool. It's too bad people have spray painted and vandalized some areas. This is a sacred place. Please respect that and leave places better than you found them.
The place is great and its very near from the city. But if you go without make reservation maby you can find the place full and you'll have to wait a long time especially if you go with a group of people.
Bob White is a great tour guide. Ask about the starry eyed man rock painting.
The landscape here is very unique when compared to many national parks. This is a really fun place to go hiking (speaking to beginner hikers). This is not a place I would take a small child, but for a group of friends who want to spend a good 3 hours hiking and walking around a rocky environment, this is an awesome place. The rangers here are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Tours are available to enter restricted areas.
Interesting and fun place to explore. Nice campsites very clean and well spaced.
Nice scenic drive, challenging trails
Very different from Franklin mountains. It's a must see and hike! The rock formations are wonderful and the "wall art" is intriguing!
Trally cool history here. Terrain was tricky to maneuver but completely doable if you are able bodied. I would go back if I was in the area again.
It's always a concern of mine when the first sign you see is "Watch for snakes". If you are into climbing then this is probably a great place. The place is manned with rangers like Fort Knox is with security. Supposedly, this is to prevent damage to the historical pictographs of Native American Indians. Honesty, there is a lot more graffiti than one would expect for the number of rangers on duty. There is also a lot of trash. The campsites are nice (water and electric). There is a full service grocery store about four miles west of the campground called Montana Vista. The park locks the gates at 7pm.
Beautiful, captivating scenery, try to plan to go out there on a cloudy or overcast day. Plenty of wild life to see, beautiful unique birds, lizards, and we once even saw wild hogs out there. Beautiful mountains and plenty of interesting history in the area. Break walking trails, clean bathrooms, and absolutely beautiful mountain hiking trails as well.
Very cool park! Lots of unique photo opportunities throughout. Make sure you make reservations prior to going as they only allow 70 people in at a time due to conservation efforts. The park rangers and facilities were all nice and the trails were all very well marked. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing scenery and a relatively cheap entrance fee. You can park and climb all over the natural rock formations and explore to your hearts content. Perfect place for both amateur and experienced climbers. Highly recommended
I love this park, rock indian paintings, great tours, rock climbing, exploring caves, beautiful landscapes... but every time i go i have to watch that video, i have watched it like 10 times.
An oasis in the desert. It has very interesting rock formations and Native American cave art. It's an easy drive from El Paso and worth taking a morning to go see. Know before you go: You will be required to watch an informational video and lecture about the park's history and the importance of Leave No Trace. It will take about half an hour. You may only access about 1/3 of the park unless you choose a guided tour. The guided tour is not a good choice for small children, unless you plan to have them in a carrier, as it takes several hours. The self guided paths are not steep, but are narrow in many places and not well marked. Bring bug spray, as there is standing water and plenty of mosquitoes, and the gift shop does not sell any. There are also plenty of rattle snakes in this area, so stay aware. Also, it is best to go early, when they first open, if you you are going during summer.
This is the best state park in Texas and possible the best park in the country. With a rich history and culture, a variety pictographs and petroglyphs, as well as the birthplace of modern bouldering you area sure to be awed with each visit to the park.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
Awesome place/climbing. Just gotta play the reservation game.
Favorite place to climb
Wonderful place. One to remember forever. Friendly people all around. Got to watch the introduction video and learn more about the area. Very historic and breath taking. Has nice building spots
Best rocks I've ever climbed on! Can't wait to go back to work some of the problems that got away. This place almost turned this sport climber into a boulderer...
Nice clean quiet Campground the rocks are awesome. Make sure to get a permit to climb the Rocks ahead of time.
Seems like a pretty place. The lady at the front desk is rude so I justvturned around.
Amazing historical park. Great experience
Absolutely beautiful! All staff were friendly and helpful. This is a must see! The self guided walk was the right length of a walk to see the drawings and everything up close.
Nice
Had my dogs with me, was a cool day but was advised not to leave them in my camper van. They offered to let me bring them in to the required video before you walk the trail. That's great to watch video but then I would have to leave because I couldn't leave them in the van to walk.
Great Place!
Cool rock art
The guided tour for the pictographs was awesome! The guide was very knowledgeable and provided great history of this place.
Thank you, Hueco Tanks State Park & Historic Site
I climbed a pretty dang nice rock. Climbed into a hole that led to the top somehow and it took me a while to figure out how to get back down but that was okay
rich history to be experienced here, both from the indigenous people that once inhabited this place and from a geologic perspective. this igneous intrusion stands out like a sore thumb amongst the surrounding sandstone and limestone cliffs and the remnants of previous inhabitants over thousands of years give it a magical touch.
Places like these are like World Heritage Sites and must be cared for. I am appreciative of the staff in providing an informative video so we can be part of the solution while visiting this park (& others). Many thanks to the staff!
Friendly docents,.great park rangers, terrific preservation instructions.
Bouldering problems to fill your heart's content. Absolutely amazing
It's a good workout but we'll worth the view.
Very nice SP and great hiking.
If you are in to climbing this is a unique place to enjoy that. If you are just into hiking and seeing some really awesome (and rare in North America) cave paintings, this is the place for you. It also has some cool geological aspects to it so if you are a rock nerd you can get some enjoyment out of it as well. Make sure you call ahead to check the schedule because they only allow so many people in the park at a time and you have to watch the intro video. I would also recommend going out to the road at night for stargazing. The park isn’t open at night but there is a pull off by a tree and a bench where you can enjoy the night sky.
A beautiful, historical, oasis in the middle of a desert. If you like hiking amd climbing this is the perfect place to go in El Paso.
Huge park. You can wall around in different trails. You must get in the top of the rocks, view is superb. Watch for snakes!
What a beautiful place! Access to the park is limited, so you have to sign up ahead of time. We signed up for a guided tour of the petroglyphs. Wow! The tours are led by local volunteers and we lucked out and had Harry and Susan for our personal guides. A few others had signed up for the tour, but didn't show. To reach one section of the tour you do have to scramble up some rocks. I have a bum knee and was anxious about this, but it was worth it!
This state park is an El Paso Treasure that we are lucky to have. With beautiful scenery and some of the best bouldering in the world, this place is a rock climbers dream.
Love going here and taking the kids they have a blast
Great place for anyone regardless of age. Small gift shop, but the volunteers are friendly.
Awesome place! A little warm today so pack plenty of water and look for hidden shade under the rocks...
Great place to spend the day and be outside. Tours are awesome!
Such a gem and so close to El Paso...perfect for a day of hiking and exploring!
Amazing history and reviews. Great rates for RV camping
We love it here!
Beautiful place. I advise adding to your bucket list
Great views, relaxing, picnic area, no water.
Great place to visit. Can’t wait to go back and go camping.
A very interesting place, also for bouldering, where you can find and see hundreds of ancient paintings and carvings in the stones. But access to the very most of the attractions is unnecessarily restricted: You can visit those places by a guided tour only, which doesn't let you make your own way and pace and costs a bunch of money. But they have a reasonable camping site for tents..
World class rock climbing destination with hiking, birding, pictograph tours and many other outdoor activities. This park has special rules and restrictions which are very important for preserving this unique desert oasis. Make reservations in advance. Need help with access? Visit the Mountain Hut 1 mile before the park.
Unique place. History, geology, anthropology. Wear your best hiking shoes and dress in layers. Had a great tour with Dar & Tess.
Had an amazing time at the first photography hike we were taken to some really great places! Would do the photography hike again and again
Probably the best place to boulder in the states. Can get hot but what else would you expect in Texas.
Great climbing, friendly staff, awesome history!
One of the best places in the US for bouldering. The surrounding mountains are awesome and make for a great setting. The rock here is super sold for the most part. All the history and unique formations really makes this place special. Hopefully, we can come back soon.
Love visiting here. Always a new experience. Friendly staff. Great views
Lots of fun but make sure to stop by the front office. I walked right by and didn't know to pay, you don't want to get kicked out! Other than that the park is great, but some parts you need a guide, which costs money too.
If you are a climber, hiker, or just want to be a huge rocky playground this is the place, but you have to respect the land and the history that surrounds this place, if you are in an RV you should be ok to stay in the grounds but you are not allow to stay in the rock area overnight.
I saw an aurora borealis here at 4 am 12aug 2000 and took a photo of it.
This place is marvelous! Love the climbing availability. The volunteers are climbers and hikers and are extraordinarily knowledgeable about the ecosystem. Plan in advance, make reservations and go on a guided tour.
I actually visit here quite often. Just taking a walk is one of my personal favorite physical activities through the region. Sometimes it is packed, therefore I propose to show up around the less popular time periods during the week. The best thing to carry out here is just simply bring a SLR and take shots.
Great place to go with your family
I love bouldering, a friend with us loves trecking, and another loves vertical rock climbing. There is something amazing for all of us there. We went during a festival and we even got taught how ro shoot witha bow & arrow, how a snake has a rib cage, and how tiny insects found in hueco are used as colorant in high end beauty prodycts!
Best bouldering I've ever experienced. The culture and history of the area make it even better. Get a guide -it's worth the cost.
Great place to explore and hike. Climbers from all over the world visit Huec Tanks. Interesting history.
World class climbing and bouldering. Breathtaking views and beautifully preserved ancient rock art
One of the most well kept national parks I have visited so far.not to mention a great place for bouldering for all skill levels.
Another great Texas State Park, kind of weird to get locked in at 6PM, but that saves me on going out for dinner, then locked up until a late breakfast at 8AM, it's a great diet plan.
It's a beautiful, breathtaking, natural site to see. A must-see for those in sw Texas.
Clean trails and massive public area. Some require guides to access. Campgrounds are well kept. A few too many misleads for the trails. Could better mark them to avoid lost hikers.
Been coming here for years the park has never let me down, shes a beauty indeed.
We had an amazing Overnight Family Campout!! Thanks to all the Park Rangers for all the activities.
Loved the feeling about the area. Some trails are a bit more difficult than the ranger let on but doable with some effort. Can't believe the stupidity of morons who have graffitied & damaged some valuable relics.
A giant beautiful park. Awesome for adventurous families
We went to Hueco in mid-December to start outdoor bouldering - we hired a guide that was certified to take us to the locked off portions of the park. All of the paths through Hueco are beautiful, whether doing some light scrambling or going through rock mazes and brush. The bouldering itself was challenging but rewarding. Where we could climbing up to V3/4 in a gym, we were maxing our at V0/V1 here, so prepare to be humbled.
This particular place is definitely nice! It's the ultimate place to come with the family, or go with classmates and friends. I usually only take a small stroll on my own here by myself. The surroundings and the scenery is nice to be around, and it allows me to thoroughly clean my thoughts.
Really historic place to visit with friends and/or family. The tour is long depending on the guide. Our guide knew a lot about the history of Hueco Tanks. The tour guide will stop in middle of the hike under the sun to explain some stuff. Bring a hat and wear sunblock. Some easy rock climbing is involved. If you are allergic to bees, let the guide know in advance
