WAKEEM / TESCHNER NATURE PRESERVE AT RESLER CANYON

El Paso, Texas 79927, United States

Created By: The Frontera Land Alliance

Tour Information

Arroyos are distinctive natural features in El Paso, channels carved into the slopes of the Franklin Mountains by the flowing water of countless years. Many wind like ribbons through established neighborhoods, offering havens of peace and beauty in the urban setting, and providing important wildlife corridors that connect the mountains with the Rio Grande.

Resler Canyon is now managed by the Frontera Land Alliance as a nature preserve. It is open to the public for walking, meditation, wildlife observation, and similar low-impact activities.

This is a 91-acre protected open space in the West El Paso, TX area.
