Our only reason for going to El Paso, TX was to visit the Cattleman's Steakhouse - a well-known steakhouse in the desert. Literally, the directions tell you to get off the interstate and drive 5 miles north into the desert. Fortunately, we were moving into a different time zone, so we were able to make it there before they closed. From the balcony of the restaurant, you also get an amazing view of the sunset over the desert.
The food itself there was very good. El Paso is the birth place of cattle ranches, and they sure know how to make a great steak. We have a pic of our yummy steak in our photo album also :)
We stayed the night in El Paso. From our hotel room, you could see the interstate, then the Rio Grande, and then Mexico all lit up on the other side - which was pretty cool. (Didn't look as appealing in the daytime though ;)
Next: 5 hour drive to Santa Fe, New Mexico
Here is the photo album for all our pics from Texas:
