"Legends of El Pasos Mountains" presents the citys most famous tale of lost treasure - the legend of the Lost Padre Mine - as told by the people of El Paso. The video shows that for centuries treasure seekers may have been looking in the wrong place. "Legends of El Pasos Mountains" also looks at the unique relationship the people of El Paso have with their mountains, as they live, work and play in the Franklin mountain range.
