Wild Flowers Field, Northeast

Best times: 1 hour before Sunset

Parking: Free parking on the side of the road

Public Restrooms: No

A hidden little gem in Northeast El Paso! This small wildflower field is a rare seasonal find, offering beautiful greenery, mountain views, and a whimsical, natural backdrop.

We typically begin beneath a large nearby tree while the sun is still high, then move into the wildflower field as the sun begins to set. This gives your gallery a beautiful mix of soft greenery and warm, golden light among the flowers.

What to Wear: Because of the tall grass and natural terrain, I recommend long dresses, pants, or jeans and closed-toe shoes such as boots or flats.
