This state park is beautiful place! We did the Aztec Caves trail which was a short but steep hike up to the caves. The view was well worth the climb! We also enjoyed a lovely picnic in the park. Full review by Rebecca K

There's lots of ground to cover here. Beware, these are bone dry mountains, and completely barren which means no shade. Bring more water than you thing you'll need and, if hiking, turn around before… Full review by montanapescado

If you need an I-94 it would be at a checkpoint either at the bridge or one at 65 miles outside El Paso. I believe the park only asks for money $5 as they are not required to check for visas. They may ask if you have a park pass. Unless you go to National parks alot you probably don’t have one. You’ll see a sign with prices at the park entrance. If no one is at the gate house then you are trusted to voluntarily pay in an envelope. Make sure you take the correct amount no change given, and a pen for your name and vehicle plates. They will check to see if you paid. Don’t take a chance paying a penalty.
