Point #9 El Paso- Texas and Mexico Interwoven

To obtain this point: You must visit the Chamizal National Memorial in El Paso, which commemorates the peaceful border resolution between the United States and Mexico. Remember that the culture and history of Texas and Mexico are obviously interwoven.

While in El Paso (the 6th largest city in Texas), try to appreciate the mixture of cultures. There are Native American, Mexican/Spanish, and Western influences throughout the city. El Paso was also a major location during the Mexican Revolution and the time of Pancho Villa. If you have time, try to make it to the Mission Trail that is an 8 mile stretch with 3 historic Spanish Missions.

Enjoy Texas and did you know that El Paso is said to be the Boot Capital of the World.
