El Capitan is the southern-most point of the Guadalupe Mountains. At 8,085 feet above sea level, El Capitan is the eighth highest peak in Texas. El Capitan, a prominent peak in the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, has a rich history intertwined with both natural and human activity. It's a significant geological formation, part of the ancient Capitan Reef, and has served as a landmark for travelers and a sacred site for indigenous peoples.

Martita's Lunch Box, named after founder Martha Rios, has a history rooted in El Paso, Texas, with its origins traced back to The Lunch Box, a restaurant established by Rios in 1985.

Here's a brief history of The Yard Patio Beer Garden in El Paso, based on the information available. The Yard Patio Beer Garden is a relatively new establishment in El Paso, which opened its doors in May 2023. It is located at 14261 Montana Avenue and features an outdoor beer garden, comfort food, cocktails, and live music. The Yard is also known for being family and dog friendly. The owners, the Adames, aimed to bring a unique experience to the east side/Montana Vista area of El Paso. The name "The Yard" originates from Hector's habit of referring to his workplace (likely a construction yard) as "the yard", wanting to transform the word into something fun. The establishment has incorporated a personal touch with its logo, which features Adame's dog, Benji, designed by local muralist Rick Uribe. The Yard not only serves as a bar and grill but also hosts a variety of events, including trivia and markets. These events have also fostered networking opportunities with other local businesses and vendors, as evidenced by their collaboration with Chef Tony Mendoza of Chef Jams Kitchen for a wine-tasting dinner.
