Only on ABC-7: Waterfalls & Desert Oasis near El Paso

Moments before ABC-7 Anchor Paul Cicala took a plunge into the refreshing waterfall behind him, around a 90-minute drive from El Paso, he eagerly shouted: “Next time you are that borderland resident who angrily proclaims, ‘There’s nothing to do around here’ … Well, think again! Be positive, and truly treasure and take pride in the border southwest.”

Paul Cicala lugged a video camera through the trails of the Lincoln National Forest to show residents of the El Paso-Las Cruces-Juarez area a desert oasis with a 20-foot waterfall.

The majestic location is tucked in a small canyon in between Alamogordo and Cloudcroft, New Mexico, where the Fresnal creek runs right through.

Don’t forget!! There’s a lot to do in our borderland.

You just have to open your mind and, well … “Just Do It!”
