Description

A truly epic route across the panoramic Franklin Mountains which span across the entirety of El Paso, Texas. Described south to north (note however that it might make more sense to go the other was, since you would have a net elevation loss going north to south):  Starting from the Scenic Drive Overlook which offers a great view of both Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, this route climbs off the road directly into the sky towards radio towers which power local television stations.

Lincoln Loop (NE)

Description

A circumnavigation of the capital city of Nebraska.  Strongly recommended that you download the gpx to watch or phone as there are lots of turns.

The route is described clockwise, starting at the parking lot located next to Salt Creek where Speedway and Park intersect.  But since it's a loop you can start anywhere and go either direction.
