Summary: Start up the trail headed south up the canyon. About 1/2 way up you will cross the TX state line. At the top of the trail, look for a trail to the left and continuing up hill. Follow the trail up. At every fork, choose the higher path. Look for the cave near the top. NOTE: At the cave, ranger contact is Texas Parks and Wildlife, Franklin Mountain State Park. (915) 566-6441 Trailhead: From El Paso, go west on I-10 about 2 miles past the NM state line. Exit on NM-404, turn right (east). Follow NM-404 east about 5 miles. At the top of the pass, look for a gate on the right (south) side of the road. Enter (CLOSE THE GATE!) and follow the dirt road as far as your vehicle will allow.

Reviewed by tim s. on 3/19/2009 I did this hike in Boy Scouts in when it was still largely unknown and highway 404 was just the anthony gap/ el paso gas dirt road. There are several other hikes from the starting point that will take you different lookout/ vantage points.
Reviewed by ICE on 1/20/2009 Lovely, save the fact that individuals are leaving trash. Such a short hike and cave - pack it back out!
