Basic Directions
El Paso is located in westernmost Texas, where the state meets Mexico and New Mexico. I-10 runs southeast through El Paso on a long, lonely stretch to San Antonio some 560 miles to the east. Las Cruces (NM) is a much shorter trip at only about 30 miles northwest. Ciudad Juarez is across the Rio Grande and the Mexican border to the south.
