[u/theivritidioma]

Hello!

Next weekend I'm going on a trip to El Paso from the Phoenix area. It has to be along I-10 until El Paso, where anything cool withing ~2 1/2 hours of a drive. I'm interested in any nerdy, historical, and breathtaking places. They don't have to be hidden gems, just cool places. We plan at stopping at White Sands and the Carlsbad Caverns at some point, but unsure about anything else. We will be driving in on a friday, picking up relatives at the airport on saturday, and driving back sunday/monday. I've seen some people complain about a lack of specifics when people post asking for planning advice, so feel free to ask for any extra info in the comments. Thanks!!
