El
Paso, Texas is one of the oldest
cities
in the United States. As its name aptly describes, El Paso (the Pass)
provides travelers a convenient gateway to points east or west.
Interstate 10 runs through town.
Located
in
the Northern Chihuahuan Desert, El Paso straddles the Rio Grande, which it
shares with sister city, Juarez, Mexico. It is the nation's third
fastest growing metropolitan area,
located midway between Los Angeles and Houston.
The rich
culture of Juarez, Mexico pervades everything in El Paso, from its art and
architecture to its celebrations and cuisine.

Shielded
by mountains on three sides, the dual cities of El Paso and Juárez, are
rewarded with more than 200 days clear days of sunshine annually and a dry
climate, making it possible to enjoy most outdoor activities year-round.
