The Mountain of Christ the King looms above El Paso at a point where the
territories of Texas, Mexico and New Mexico meet. Prominent on the 4,576-foot
summit is a massive monument of Christ on the Cross by artist Urbici Soler,
built of Cordova cream limestone, quarried near Austin. Not recommended to climb
except during the Pilgrimage the last Sunday in October.
