I arrived to El Paso by car driving from Arizona through New Mexico. Interstate 10 (I-10) was almost empty at night till I reached El Paso urban area where traffic was light to moderate about midnight.

El Paso lies at the intersection of three states (Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua) and two countries (the USA and Mexico). It's a good city to stay before a visit both to Carlsbad Caverns (155 mi, 250 km) in New Mexico and Big Bend National Park in Texas. But keep in mind that
distances in Texas are larger than in any other US state (except Alaska).

Look at approximate distances from El Paso to some Texas destinations:
Big Bend National Park - 340 mi (550 km)
San Antonio - 570 mi (910 km)
Austin - 590 mi (950 km)
Dallas - 660 mi (1060 km)
Houston - 770 mi (1230 km).
So, if you drive from Houston to Los Angeles, California, El Paso is almost exactly on half of your long drive.




You may also reach El Paso by air (El Paso International Airport, ELP) from Mexico City and major US airports, by train (Amtrak) or by long-distance bus (Greyhound).
