Hueco Tanks State Historic Site is located in this area, approximately 32 miles (51.5 km) northeast of El Paso , Texas . The park is popular for recreation such as Birding and Bouldering , and is culturally and spiritually significant to many Native Americans . This significance is partially manifested in the Pictographs (rock paintings) that can be found throughout the region, many of which are thousands of years old. In centuries past, the region was inhabited by a people known as the Jornada Mogollon (pronounced ''mo-goi-YONE''). This culture existed in the region until about 1400 A.D., after which time the region was inhabited by the Apache people, who moved in from the North. Hueco Tanks is also one of the most popular areas for Bouldering (climbing without ropes) in the Northern United States. Guides are needed for East and West Mountain, but North Mountain is free. The park offers camping and showers for about $7.00 a day or, as is most popular, the Rock Ranch offers camping where you can chill with other climbers. This is also where guides can be found.
