What is elevation el paso texas?

El Paso, Texas has an elevation of approximately 3,800 feet (1,158 meters) above sea level. The city is located at the westernmost tip of Texas, in the Chihuahuan Desert, and is surrounded by mountains, including the Franklin Mountains to the west and the Hueco Mountains to the east. The high elevation of El Paso is due to its location on a plateau between the two ranges, with the Rio Grande flowing through the valley between them. The city's high elevation makes it one of the sunniest and driest cities in the United States, with an arid climate and low humidity. The cooler temperatures and dry air also make it a popular destination for winter sports, such as skiing and snowboarding in nearby mountains.
