Today, visitors to Old Mesilla wander the sleepy little village, relax at the Plaza, visit the 173 year old San Albino church and relax.

Pretty much everybody wants a souvenir though and the Billy The Kid gift shop has plenty.
Hiking in El Paso can be dangerous so, play it safe. Bring plenty of water, don't go during the hottest part of the day, dress accordingly, know your limitations, watch for snakes, etc, etc. Watch for dead bodies too, by the way.
