Cross Fit The Human Laboratory

Keystone Heritage Park is a unique combination of an archeological site, an archaic wetland, and a botanical garden, making it an ideal destination for birdwatchers. The Park is over 58 acres in El Paso's Upper Valley, and its volunteer directors are responsible for preserving and developing it. With over 193 bird species, Keystone Heritage Park is a paradise for bird lovers. It is also a popular stop for migratory birds, making it a must-visit destination for birdwatchers. The Park's wetlands area is particularly noteworthy, as it is home to 22 species of birds considered rare by the Audubon Society. These archaic wetlands are protected by federal law and provide a glimpse into the wetlands/Bosque that once lined the Rio Grande.

A trip to the El Paso area wouldn't be complete without stopping by the Hal Marcus Gallery. This small art gallery between UTEP and Downtown features a vibrant and imaginative exhibition that provokes thought. Visitors can explore works by the local El Paso painter Hal Marcus and other talented artists. At the gallery, visitors can view works showcasing artists' skills in various mediums, including oil, acrylic, mixed media, pen and ink, etching, and sculpture. The exhibition also includes a nine-minute looping video that offers profound insights into the art and Hal Marcus's distinctive approach.
