Hueco Tanks | El Paso Texas

Okay, so I'm going to go to Mescalero Canyon, but there are camping sites here, I believe, but they're, they're booked out pretty serious. As you can imagine, it would be pretty epic to, uh, to camp here right beside these things. Just want to see what the campsites look like.

Okay, so I think these are the holes they were talking about that they would use for cooking to hold water, do work. You can imagine thousands of years ago, this would have been, you know, a path, people would have probably come in and out, kind of like out in the prairie kind of area into

the rocks. I'm going to go check this out. It's pretty great. This is kind of one of those areas you can kind of feel the, the energy of people that

lived here. It just feels like you can imagine so easily how people would have made use of the space. Deer droppings there, deer in here, maybe deer. Okay, I was wrong.

Campsite 17 is not a campsite that you can stay at. Rather, it's an entrance into the rock, um, which I just shot some footage of. So now, Mescalero Canyon. Cool old staircase there.

You can imagine how people would, you know, live around the edge where the rock met the ground. It's funny, I thought this was going to be kind of a bummer being here when it was like cloudy and rainy.

But actually, now that I see what an important role this place played with water, this is actually perfect because I can hear all the water dripping into the rocks and there's Alright, this is where I was. Came around here.

Went in what I thought was a campsite, that area that we know is not. Boom. Coming around here and I'm about to end at this, which is, I'm not exactly sure what on our map here.

Oh man, I don't want to go in there so bad though. That's one of the holes, and that one is deep. I wonder if there's like a pot in there. This reminds me of being, growing up in New Caney, Texas, playing in the woods.

This would have been an epic playing area if you were a little kid. I think I hit the end of the road, but I'm sure there are a lot of animals around here, Alright, this is what they're saying, walk on the rock, right up the ramp. I don't know if you can see the pole in the middle of the screen, and it like would be

an amphitheater where you would speak to people and then the brush is the back, like a gathering space.
