Mammoth Rock reviews
8 El Paso is a very boring city filled with families and a bunch of nobodies. There's hardly any industry here other than the government (state: UTEP, federal: Ft. Bliss).
This mountain is a glowing treasure amidst all that is underwhelming and bland about El Paso. While not necessarily vindicating the tragedy of a town that is El Paso, the hiking this mountain provides is certainly a formidable distraction.
Wish there weren't so much graffiti on it, though.
Trails need better markings, kind of like almost every place near El Paso. Parking area is closed, no word on why or when it will be open again.
Steep walk with some climbing (crawling on hands) at end. Beautiful views a third the way up and at peak. Our legs were trembling after completing this hike.
Just above one literal mile above sea level, the air is just a little crisper on this rock, absolutely beautiful!
It’s a great place to hike. We come ever Labor Day to hike and this Labor Day 2020 it’s closed! So sad:/ Now my husband and I have to find another place to hike
Everytime I make a trip to Ft. Bliss i make it a point to find time to make this hike. Its $5 well spent.
It’s not a short hike but definitely not the hardest. There are several smaller trails that will lead up to mammoth rock depending on the level of difficulty you want. You can get a glimpse of both sides of the city once you’re up there
Great hike for children and middle ages. If you have trouble with your knees though, you might want to brace them. Used to hike much more and I remembered how beautiful it was, however the rock itself needs serious attention. There is now more graffiti on the mammoth than in some ghettos. People just don't take care of parks anymore. There is spray paint graffiti up there, as in someone went up there with the intent of destroying it. The trails have fallen into minor disrepair.
