mt. cristo rey

El Paso is like a dusty jewel, in the middle of the southwest desert, but once cleaned off, reveals all of its bright and beautiful facets.

The traditional hike up Mt. Cristo Rey during Holy Week as a sign of their faith and their devotion is another casualty of the coronavirus outbreak.

The climb happens October 27. Check out the parking details, hours of the climb, and the one thing you cannot bring or you won't be able to climb.

The annual event is held to commemorate the completion of the monument, as well as to celebrate the Christian feast of Christ the King.

Mt. Cristo Rey is a hallowed, and sometimes harrowing, El Paso landmark. One family found out the hard way that it can be very dangerous.

If you've never done this hike, Good Friday is a great day to do it.
