This festival usually takes place in October and includes various activities such as bird watching, nature hikes and drives, mountain biking, and bat watching. There's even an event called Coffee, Hot Chocolate, muffins, and the Tramway. The Celebration of Our Mountains sponsors events for hiking, biking, birding, climbing, photographing, and studying the natural wonders, wildlife, geology, and archaeology of the greater El Paso region of the Chihuahuan Desert. It also offers field trips about human history, architecture, science, and technology.

Welcome to Saint Patrick Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of El Paso. Located in downtown El Paso, the Cathedral is an important historical landmark and a beautiful expression of faith. The clergy and townspeople built it to showcase their devotion to their religion. The Cathedral boasts custom-made stained-glass windows created by the Emil Frei Art Glass Co. of St. Louis and Munich. These windows depict scenes of Jesus Christ's life, from His birth to resurrection. The windows were donated by different parishioners, who also included inscriptions dedicated to their friends or family members.
