WYLER AERIAL TRAMWAY STATE PARK W Y L E R A E R I A L T R A M W A Y S T A T E THE MAN BEHIND THE DREAM W yler Aerial Tramway fulfills the dream of philanthropist Karl O. Wyler, who strongly believed that the lofty views from atop Ranger Peak should be available to the public. He included this wish in his final will. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department accepted donation of the tramway in 1997 and opened it to the public in 2001 following extensive renovation. The story begins, however, in 1959 when NBC-affiliate KTSM Radio built the tramway to aid the construction of a transmitter antenna and service platform. A real workhorse in its early days, the tiny tram hauled concrete, water, heavy equipment, workers—even sections of the antenna itself—to the mountain summit. Wyler directed this ambitious construction project and, in the process, fell in love with Ranger Peak and its top-of-the-world view. Privately owned and operated first as El Paso Aerial Tramway, the facility allowed public access from 1960 to 1986. Although it continued to provide access for maintenance of telecommunications equipment, high liability insurance costs caused the tramway to close to the public for some 15 years prior to its establishment as a Texas state park. Tramway under construction in 1959. School children enjoy the ride to the top, then and now. P A R K HOW DOES IT WORK? The tramway operates on a 2,400-foot-long single-span cable system, meaning that there are no support towers along its nearly half-mile length. An engineering feat! From bottom to top, visitors are lifted some 940 vertical feet as they glide high above the rugged terrain below. Swiss-made gondolas carry tramway passengers. A haul rope pulls each gondola on a track rope along its lofty route. These “ropes” are actually the same type of superstrong cables used in the construction of suspension bridges. To maintain tension, the track cable is anchored at the top of the mountain and tied to a massive 29-ton counterweight at the base station. That’s the weight of a fully-loaded semi! THE VIEW The four-minute narrated gondola ride to the tramway’s observation platform provides a unique top-down look at the site’s geology, including views of sequential rock layers ranging from ancient volcanic granite to more recently-deposited limestone. Passengers may also glimpse typical Chihuahuan Desert plants and animals along the route. Red-tailed hawks have nested on a high cliff very near the tramway’s path, treating riders to a literal bird’s-eye view. Arrival atop Ranger Peak

Emory Pass is visible in the saddle between the two forested peaks. The range’s name comes from its dark appearance compared to the dry Chihuahuan desert below. At 8,408 ft. above sea level, this is an isolated outlier of the Black Range 90 miles away. A small deposit of lead-silver ore was discovered a the base in the 1870s. About 22 miles away, this small lava vent has accumulated a large sand dune deposited by winds from the west. Lava flowed from this vent to create the malpais (lava field) that extends south to Kilbourne Hole. Molten lave met groundwater to create a violent steam eruption that excavated this maar (broad, shallow crater) about 30 miles away. Rockhound State Park in New Mexico on the north side of this range is a treasure trove of gems and minerals and provides a good sampling of the region’s vast mineral wealth. Florida Peak is 7,295 ft. high, about 70 miles away. Located in south-central Dona Ana County, NM, these igneous mountains are about 40 miles away. Most of them are located on property managed by the Bureau of Land Management as part of the Organ Mountains—Desert Peaks National Monument. The tallest (5,905 ft.) of the two large cinder cones, 36 miles to the west. Black lava at about 2,000°F rose from as deep as 50 miles below the surface several hundred thousand years ago. About 47 mya an intrusion of igneous andesite pushed up through surrounding Cretaceous sedimentary rock to form this mountain, 4 miles away. Atop the 4,675 ft. peak, the cross of Cristo Rey is 33.5 feet high and rests on a 9-foot base. It was sculpted by Urbici Soler out of Austin Limestone. A mass of Montoya Dolomite and Fusselman Limestone over 600 ft. thick and 1.5 miles long slid off from the top of the Franklins quite suddenly more than 1 mya. Composed mostly of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, this range began to be uplifted and moved north about 50 mya. During this process the rock strata were dramatically folded – look for a large fold just to the right of the white lettering. The highest peaks are about 6,000 ft. above sea level, 8 miles to the southwest. The North American plate is pulling apart along the Rio Grande Rift, through which the river flows. Originally, it fed a huge shallow lake that covered all of the low-lying area around El Paso. About 1 mya, this lake (Cabeza de Vaca) overflowed near the Quitman Mountains and the present Rio Grande Valley was formed. The base of the radio tower is about 5,220 ft. above sea level and slightly more than a half mile away. About 56 miles away. About 38 miles away, these mountains abound with petroglyphs (prehistoric rock art). This forest, planted in the 1960s on the former flood plain of the Rio Grande, is home to the area’s largest concentration of trees. The dunes cover about 5 square miles and are home to many archaeological sites, 210 plant species, and over 250 species of animals. Sand grains are blown from west to east, where t

WELCOME from Rodney Franklin, State Parks Director This year is very special for Texas State Parks: We are celebrating our 100-year anniversary in 2023. More and more Texans are discovering the beauty of State Parks and exploring the outdoors in new and adventurous ways. Our teams across the state are incredibly excited to welcome outdoor enthusiasts, especially those who have yet to discover what our parks have to offer. The variety of Texas’ lands is unmatched; from the mountains of west Texas to the Gulf shores, the Texas State Park system celebrates and preserves the natural and cultural treasures that make Texas such a special place. The 640,000-plus acres that make up the state park system are nearly as diverse as the people of Texas. Since 1923, our mission has been to help connect our visitors with the outdoors. As we honor those who have come before us, I invite a new generation to be a part of the story of the lands that connect us all. There is more to enjoy in our parks than you know, so please join us in our celebrations and activities. Every day we look for new and better ways to ensure your state parks are welcoming to every Texan, regardless of their background or experience being outside. I hope you’ll visit soon and often, while bringing your friends and family along. YOU are a natural and we’re looking forward to celebrating the 100-year anniversary of state parks with you!
