ELP

When landing at El Paso International (ELP), sit on the Right side for the best views. On final approach to runway 22, you're flying southwest and the Franklin Mountains rise dramatically off to the right (northwest), with downtown El Paso and Ciudad Juárez visible beyond them along the Rio Grande. Left side mostly shows flat desert terrain toward the Hueco Mountains, which is far less interesting. Notable sights include: Franklin Mountains, Rio Grande river, Downtown El Paso/Ciudad Juárez skyline, Fort Bliss area.
