Scenic drive traces a winding course on the southern flank of Mount Franklin
above downtown El Paso, with a view of Juarez across the river. Reached from
Richmond Street on the east and from Rim Road on the west.
El Paso is "V" shaped, divided by the imposing steep slopes of the Franklin
Mountains. Connecting the top ends of "V" is Loop 375 (Transmountain Road) that
climbs through mile-high Smugglers Gap with impressive views of rugged
mountain-desert scenery. Accessible from I-10 northwest of the city and from
U.S. 54 northeast.
