Some of these are not "things" but are the most impressive for me
1. Beautiful Sunsets
2. Awesome distant Lightning displays
3. The smell in the air after it rains
4. The westide view from the Franklins...Transmountain
5. The star on the Franklin Mtns. You can see it as far as Tornillo on I-10 west.

In addition to the above:
- Mission Trail: Ysleta/Soccoro Missions/San Elizario Chapel
- trip into Juarez (drive or Trolley)
- Old Mesilla/ Stahmans
- El Paso Zoo
- Franklin State Park/ Trans-Mountain Road
- Rosas Cantina (photo op/maybe lunch)
- drive thru downtown/plaza
- view of El Paso/Juarez at night from I10 near Bassett Center
- cotton fields (upper valley)
- I love lunch with a spectacular view of the mountain from Luby's on Mesa

 'Not sure you'll get many tourists if they all have to be there when it rains.   |

The bad thing about Carlsbad Caverns, Cloudcroft, Old Mesilla, White Sands, etc, is that they're not located in El Paso.
