Welcome back to the Outdoor Adventure Series, the podcast that celebrates the thrill of outdoor activities and the beauty of our natural world.
This is the 6th episode of our collaboration with Visit El Paso to promote El Paso, Southwest Texas, New Mexico, and the State of Chihuahua MX, as they host the OWAA's 2024 annual conference this year.
During today's episode, we're diving into the wonders of Hueco Tanks State Park and Historic Site with our special guest, Nicole Roque. Nicole is the Community Outreach Specialist for Hueco Tanks, part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Division, and she has spent the last six years fostering a deep connection between the El Paso community and its breathtaking outdoor spaces.
Nicole shares her fascinating journey from studying wildlife science to becoming a passionate advocate for nature at Hueco Tanks. We'll explore the park's rich history, unique bouldering culture, diverse flora and fauna, including Nicole's beloved bobcats. Discover why El Paso, with its neighbor Mexico, is a treasure trove of outdoor activities, from canyon hikes to ancient pictographs, and why it's an incredible destination waiting to be explored.
