    Buffalo Soldier Gate Fort Bliss is the closest gate to the El Paso International Airport and the…read moreMontana Ave/Airway Intersection, this is also the main visitors gate meaning this gate has a building where visitors can get a pass to enter Fort Bliss and it is open 24 hours. Before you arrive to the actual gate there is a parking lot to the left where you can walk to the building if you are in need of a pass. This gate gets busy and the building only holds 5 people. So, there is often a line and people line up outside under the sun or cold to get a pass. In other words be conscious of this and bring an umbrella or jacket as applicable. The waiting time for a visitor pass is approximately 5 to 8 minutes per person depending on the person/situation. Other than the long waiting time the staff is respectful and to the point. To get a pass you will need a sponsor, an identification card and you will need to fill up a form. The requirements do change every once in a while so check out their website ahead of time.

    This gate is one of two you can use to get a visitor pass. If you know you need a pass, please…read moredon't wait until Friday afternoon to get it. The line will be wrapped around the building during that time. Also remember you can apply ahead of time through a soldier's computer. Check their website to see current rules.

    Feb 2021 Per Yelp…read more"Airway Light Sculptures" To me "Airway Light Structures" Official Name: "I-10 Airway Aesthetics" Previously when my family and I were first time stationed in Fort Bliss this Steel Structures did not existent. When we came back as we drove in El Paso it was day time and we saw them, our whole family was like "WOW! What is that?" Note: The I-10 Airway Aesthetics are best appreciated when it is dark. According to the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority the idea behind this project between them, TxDOT and the City of El Paso was: 1. Beautify the City and the Interstate 10 Corridor. 2. The I-10 Airway Aesthetics would be known as the "identifier" for anyone going to the airport from I-10 to take the exit and Airway Blvd would lead them to the airport. 3. Also the Airway Aesthetics do create enough energy to power the smaller version of them in airway. I personally wish there was more space between them and that there was a sidewalk were we could walk near by to best enjoy this structures. They change colors ar night time and overall thats it but they do look pretty.

    Can you really leave these statues a bad review? lol. I was very surprised to learn this was a Yelp…read morebusiness as most are actually places you can visit and not just pass by and if you blink, you miss them. Like someone else stated, it was probably made to get a dukedom but none the less , I'll review. I don't pass by these very often as I live on the westside but when you pass by these at night, they are very nice to see! They also provide more light to our I10 which is always nice!

    I thoroughly enjoyed the El Paso Mission trail and making each stop along the route. The best stop…read moreby far is San Elizario. I suggest stopping here first and starting at 10:00am when the museum and church open. Not only is this the most scenic and peaceful stop, it offers the most interactive experience of all the nearby missions. Oscar was working the museum on the morning that we stopped and he treated us to a great walking tour and provided local history. He is an oral historian and does a great job of informing visitors of area history as well as culture. Stop in and ask for him. He walked us around the museum and down the nearby streets to give us a tour of the prison and local establishments. I'd say you should plan on being at San Elizario for 1-2 hours to enjoy everything that the area has to offer. Once you've toured, you'll want to hit the local coffee shop known as Cafe Arte di Admore. Amazing coffee, sandwiches, and pastries. The owner even makes all the art on display. You should definitely check out my review for more info on that. Socorro and Ysleta are the other two missions and certainly worth seeing. However, they are in much more bustling areas and will not require the same amount of time. I'd say you can safely plan on 15 minutes at each of these thus making the entire experience about a half day commitment. Please have fun and enjoy!

    I agree with the first reviewer that this Mission Trail is essential for those who want to learn…read moremore about the history of El Paso and the Borderland. I managed to stop at each mission/chapel on my drive back to Arizona to read the plaques, walk around the plazas, and take in some spirituality. Even on an abbreviated schedule, this took me two hours. Unlike the missions of San Antonio, these three missions are best done by car, due to the heavy traffic along the border and the narrow road of travel. All three are well-maintained, but opening hours may vary despite them being posted. All three are within seven miles and the road is well-marked. It's journey is best done from the south, starting with the Elizario chapel and then continuing to Socorro and then Ysleta. The Elizario complex is the most quiet one, away from main traffic or large buildings. A gate prevents vehicular traffic in front of the chapel. A lot of blackbirds like to gather in the trees in the plaza, so watch for bird bombs! The Socorro mission has a large parking area. Getting in and out of this one is easy, but again, watch out for traffic when getting back on the road. There is a somber memorial to the Gutierrez family in the back of the mission. Watch out for two very vicious chihuahuas across the dirt path, too. They like to annoy passers-by. The Ysleta mission is in the most congested area of the three. It's on the Tigua Reservation and a major road is between the parking lot and mission. It's loud and active. The noise can be disturbing. This one is also surveilled by camera and a guard shack. Take the time to read the historical signs, enter the churches and take in some self-reflection when walking through these three complexes. The Ysleta mission is the oldest of the three, yet also one of the busiests.

He worked for Levi Strauss and could not afford a palace for his wife so he purchased the squat modest "horrible" home and promised to create a place worthy of his love. Boy did he!! He taught himself all the skills necessary, worked tirelessly and created a masterpiece. In his works he wanted to honor his homeland of Mexico, his new home of El Paso and his love for the Lord. His designs, creations, colors and creativity are all displayed in a modest neighborhood of small houses on a corner lot that is visible from the highway. If you are ever in the El Paso area this is a must see before it's gone. The creator, master, artist and devoted husband passed away in August 2022 and the future is uncertain for Casa de Azucar.

Rufino Loya promised his wonderful wife he would build something beautiful! And Rufino delivered! It's named the Casa de Azucar or the House of Sugar. Sweet love! Started in 1973, Rufino completed it in 25 years of effort! Rufino also respected the Catholic churches of his native Mexico, as there are religious inscriptions on the house. Pineapples, symbols of hospitality in Mexico, adorn the house as well! Life is good with a unique expression of love!
