Amaze Your Sight With Colorful Desert Flowers Hiking In El Paso
Since the pandemic started you may have noticed more people enjoying hiking in El Paso. Hiking in El Paso has its perks that make your hike that much enjoyable. For example, a friend of mine shares his gnarly adventures and discoveries when he goes hiking.

Last year in July my friend would hike near or around the McKelligon Canyon area from time to time. During one of his hikes last year, he stumbled across something you didn t know existed in El Paso. Ray Arreola shared his little acquaintance with what seems like a crabby-spider-like creature on his social media.
While some El Pasoans are getting vaccinated slowly but surely the music scene is coming back to life. We all remember attending the battle of the band s shows showing our support for a friend s band. Well, instead of the bands battling each other they re coming together for El Paso s first annual Skullchella Fest presented by Skull King Productions.
If you ve been missing the local rock scene then get your ears ready for this weekend. Lately, things have been somewhat looking up now that there are vaccinations. We should just be thankful that we ve come this far from our prison sentence a year ago.
