Hueco Tanks State Park and Historic Site in El Paso County appeals to the birder, hiker, rock art enthusiast, camper and rock climber. In fact, it offers so much to so many that visitation is limited to protect the resources of the park, particularly the ancient rock art.
That shouldn't dissuade you from visiting Hueco Tanks...just make arrangements well ahead of time. For more information, click here.
What does Hueco mean? And what are tanks? The 860.3-acre park is named for the large natural rock basins or "huecos" that have furnished a supply of trapped rain water to dwellers and travelers in this arid region of west Texas for millennia.
Thanks to TPWD for this great photo!
