Beautiful drive on the way up. $5.00 per person isnt a bad price if youre going to hike but we didnt that day. Supposed to be pet-friendly. Must display the pass in your windshield...states redundantly.

Beautiful state park, great camp sites and trails. We really enjoyed our hike at the Upper Sunset Trail, its a moderate hike. There are some DRY RV spots available. The bathrooms we saw did not have showers, Im sure there are some on site, but youll need to call and check. The roads are narrow so if you have a huge RV, I would call ahead.

Came here for a late morning hike on a Saturday. Stopped by the Visitors Center to pay for day access and pick-up some trail maps. We were short on time, so only did the new Aztec Caves Trail. Neither the Visitors Center or the trail were crowded. It was a quick 5 minute drive to the trailhead and we were on our way. The trail was probably a moderate level. There are times with a moderate incline with loose traction on the travel. Some of our party did need occasional breaks and help on some parts, but they all made it up and down. It was probably about 30 minutes each way. At the top, theres a nice little cave area with great views. I would recommend this trail for anyone with decent mobility.

Great trails, lots of beautiful views. We love Mundys gap with views of both sides of the City. Some trails are down hill from the parking area and then you turn around and find yourself having to climb back up, pay attention to how far you have walked. With all the beautiful scenery the distance can get away from you and in the summertime the heat can be overwhelming after 9am. Be prepared, bring water.

Not a bad state park. Lots of camping space and lots of trails. The biggest drawback is there is no portable water in the park. Employees said they finished a well back in 2019 but have never had a pump installed. Water is a must if youre walking the trails in the park. Texas Parks and Wildlife should do better.

This is a beautiful park. Its a refreshing difference to everywhere else in Texas. You get dry arid air and mountains. Be sure to pack plenty of water and know your limits. Some of the trails can be hard on people with bad knees. Also, check the weather before visiting (we didnt). Sand storms can sneak up on you with almost no warning.

I read that this is the largest urban park in the USA, larger than Central Park! We stayed there only one night in an RV dry site. Site was honestly quite challenging since is was positioned on a big slope, so no way we could level for the night. We ended up parked close to lower sunset trail (thanks to the kind ranger) and we got a great view of El Paso and sunset. We have boondocked in many places and done dry camping in other State Parks but there was usually a place to get water and to fill our RV tank on site but not at Franklin Mountains State Park. They have to truck water since there is no well. So fill up RV tank before coming! Otherwise a nice place to stop by and for just $20/night. Playground: Did not see any playground Toilets: Dry toilets but quite clean Picnic area: Tons of places to have a picnic but really windy out there

Embarking on the Ron Coleman trail at Franklin State Park proved to be a rugged and challenging adventure. However, the overall experience was somewhat tempered by the trails less-than-ideal maintenance. The path was strewn with numerous rocks and pebbles, posing an additional obstacle throughout the journey. Navigating through this uneven terrain demanded extra caution and attention to foot placement, detracting from the otherwise immersive hiking experience. Despite the trails natural beauty and captivating scenery, the lack of proper maintenance somewhat diminished the enjoyment, as the focus shifted to negotiating the rocky terrain. Hikers should be prepared for a more strenuous trek due to the trail conditions, yet the unique challenges presented by Ron Coleman trail still offer a distinctive and memorable outdoor experience at Franklin State Park.

Excellent place to go for a walk. This place is full of incredible landscapes and views, along with great routes to explore. With the signs and maps provided it is difficult to get lost. However, you have to be careful, since there are long routes and very steep paths, so it is easy to get tired. I highly recommend this place for people who like to walk a lot and explore new routes, which is why I give it a 97/100

I hiked the Upper Sunset Trail up to the top and turned back afterwards. Lots of clouds on the mountains when I arrived. It did calm down for a while then there was a bit of rain that came down. A double rainbow appeared and soon after the wind picked up bringing the fog down from the top of the mountains, thats when I decided to head back down. Felt like I was in Hawaii.

We had a fantastic hike on the Aztec Cave Trail with the dog. Its not a technical route at all, but a couple of steps required me to lift him up onto the next step as it was just too steep for him (45 lb. dog). Wide trail, plenty of parking and easy to get in and out of there. But what a great hike. We even got to see a Colorado tarantula! We will be back to explore the other trails very soon!!

Unexpectedly awesome. I didn t have any expectations after visiting other State Parks. Usually state parks are smaller and do not offer long hikes. We did Summit trail in morning and Aztec Cave trail in afternoon. Summit Trail had awesome 360 views of the whole town but the hike was somewhat Hard. It was hot but we started early morning so we got heat on the way back. After doing this trail our energy was low, so we decided on a shorter trail and chose Aztec Cave Trail, call it a mistake or call us lucky we had all trail by ourself, there was no one on the trail but this hike was way steeper though very short. We enjoyed both the trails. The staff at visitor center is awesome and very friendly.

They give talks once a month at various locations around the city. The visitor center is very nice and has a store with various camping and other items. I didnt go into the park itself as there is an entrance fee. But there are numerous hiking trails. Toilets: Nice clean bathrooms at the visitor center

There is nothing like enjoying our beautiful mountains, enjoy the amazing views and variety of flowers that it offers. Toilets: They are very well kept. Dog-friendliness: Lots of the trails are dog friendly. Picnic area: We love to cook out after our hikes. They have plenty out there, with grills and trashcan. Theyre very well kept.

Nice park, great views, nice welcome center/gift shop. Some of the trails are too rocky and a bit confusing. Wish there were better markings and even distant markers. Staff was excellent.

The park offers camping sites, primitive RV site, picnic sites, and miles of trails. Toilets: The bathroom near the park HQ is the only one with running water and sinks. The bathrooms near the trail are more like outhouses. Picnic area: Provide shaded area, picnic table, fireplace, and a grill. Bring your own firewood. The limited native wood is for wildlife.
