With beautiful weather to complement a great day with Dad, the city of El Paso sets the perfect backdrop for a memorable Father’s Day. We polled our family at Cantera Apartments in El Paso as to what their plans were for the big day.

Below you will find some ideas you might want to put on your calendar for Father’s Day or any time with Dad this summer.

Perhaps we will see you out and about as well? In the meantime, we wish all the dads at the Cantera Apartment Community a very memorable Father’s Day.

Take Him Out for a Toast
There are so many breweries to toast to your Dad in El Paso that you will need more than just one day to do so. Maybe make it a date once a week to experience the local establishments that pour award-winning pints. Our team’s top picks include:

Keg & Brew Craft House
2114 N Zaragoza Rd suite b-1 · In Taco Avocat

Keg & Brew Craft House
7471 Cimmeron Market Avenue

Craftbox Fill Station & Bar
4726 Woodrow Bean Transmountain

Take A Hike
With the 27,000-acre (about 40 square miles) Franklin Mountains, there are over 100 trails to take a short trek or day-long walk. Another option is to make your reservation to camp out for a night or a ‘stay-cation’ close to home. Bring your bikes, climbing gear and hiking boots. If you are into geocaching, this is a top spot to head out for a day-long adventure.

Stroll Around San Jacinto
An icon of our magnificent city, San Jacinto Plaza is another place to take Dad out to enjoy one of El Paso’s parks. In the center, take a selfie with Dad by the fiberglass sculpture by Luis Jiménez which honors the city’s colorful past – when real alligators graced San Jacinto Plaza sits in the center of downtown! Today, it is wrapped with places to play or put your feet up for a few. Take a stroll over the bridge or park on a bench for a game of chess, play a little ping-pong, or stop in for refreshments and a snack at the café.

Unplug and Unwind

The Chamizal National Monument and surrounding trails are ideal places to slip away for the day. As their website notes: Chamizal is more than just an urban park to recreate or enjoy a quiet afternoon. These grounds are a reminder of the harmonious settlement of a 100-year boundary dispute between the United States and Mexico. We celebrate the cultures of the borderlands to promote the same mutual respect that helped to diplomatically resolve an international disagreement.
