A hundred ten miles east of El Paso in west Texas, this spectacular park is so far off the beaten path, it's little known and lightly visited. The dramatic mountains are the remains of fossilized reef that formed 250 million years ago, when the area was covered by ocean. Rich coniferous forests on the mountainsides descend to harsh desert cacti. Coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, mule deer and 300 bird species can be seen from 80 miles of trail, along with three species of horned lizards.
