A friend of mine in Colorado told me about his trip there and what a great place it is. I can't believe that I spent 24 years within just a few miles of it and never heard anything about it. I am definitely going there the next time I have a chance to go to El Paso. Thank you for the inspiring article. I grew up in El Paso and never heard of Hueco Tanks.

It is overwhelming to recognize natural history and sacred tradition that has, and will continue,to dwell in this place of perfection. What a wonderful video!

There are so many places to hide there that no one could find them all. There are parts of the park where you definitely can feel the history and "spirits" of the people who once lived there and left the drawings on the rocks. It is such a wonderful place to visit that I can imagine how great it would have been being a kid growing up there. We are looking forward to going back there next summer as it is one of the best climbing areas anywhere.
