Mission Trail

Mission Trail on the east side of El Paso is a 9-mile stretch from Ysleta to San Elizario, Texas, that is one of El Paso's most historical cultural sites, and it's best kept secret. Here you'll find lots of local art and artists in their galleries and gift shops, historical information about old west outlaws and the Tigua Indians, including performances of Native American social dances, and live music. You can also visit three very old missions still in service, the Mission Trail Visitor Center (9065 Alameda) and the famous Licon Dairy and petting zoo. The visitor center provides a shuttle that will take you on a tour down the Mission Trail. You can also drive your own vehicle. Exit I-10 at Zaragosa (exit 32) and go south to the visitor center across the street from the Ysleta Mission.
